Unanswered: master cylinder leaking

hello everybody! before i begin i would like to apologize. been a member for quite a while but i have not logged on for over a year. been too busy driving my 67 opel kadett station. what do you expect? i've been opeling. but now i'm in a stump. my wagon is acting up on me. my ignition points busted on me and my dual brake master cylinder is leaking where it attaches to the booster. now i have purchased an electronic ignition conversion kit but the instructions are so confusing. can anybody explain me how to install it like i am a five year old? and have not been able to find an affordable master cylinder or a rebuilt kit. please help! miss my wagon not running. if you know mr. h collins or mr. r killingsworth, please let them know that the rootbeer dream custom time machine is in jeopardy in el paso and to please get a hold of me!

The master cylinder for the kadett should be the same as a GT, so I don't see any reason why the Geo Metro one wouldn't swap like it does with the GT.

The thread for this swap is here:
http://www.opelgt.com/forums/perform...placement.html

I will be doing this swap on my GT when I restore it.

You should go to opelgtsource in sonora ca. to see if they have a MC if you want stock. As Opelwasp said, one apparently can convert easily to the geo metro.
search this board for pertronix install instructions as offered by tekenaar for all you want or need to know.

First of all, Welcome Back! I had begun to wonder if the earth had swallowed you. Almost called a time or two just to find out! Glad to hear you've been enjoying your Opel. The last I heard you had some bad luck from some used parts you had purchased. Sounds like Rodney got you fixed up.

Electronic ignition question: Here is a link to a post from me with a You Tube video I came across and it also contains a link from Tekenaar with excellent instructions on a pertronix installation.

Geo Metro Master Cylinder replacement

HTH,

Harold
