Thanks guys- the mc I had ordered doesn't have the reservoirs so I'm returning it and buying the one through NAPA today. While there I'll probably order the clutch one, also. That's something we intended to anyway. man, this is gonna be some slow going on this thing. ha! I'm just going on the assumption that just about everything in the engine with rubber on it is going to be replaced.

How important are the floats in the brake master cylinder reservoirs? Actually, from what i've seen in diagrams, there are whole pieces of my m/c gone- the filters, etc under the caps. The remaining black rubber float looks like a burned up marshmallow. If I can just take it out and feel like I don't have anything to stress out about these parts not being there, i'd be stoked. Flushing it all out and bleeding tomorrow to see if we can get away with that rather than install a new m/c, but have a brand new one (sans soft parts and reservoirs) ready to go if necessary. The one on it doesn't look too bad but, of course, hard to tell by looking how well it's working. Oh yeah found paperwork in the car and the last time it was insured was 2006, so I'm assuming the thing sat up in Chiloquin in someone's yard for at least 3.5 years before it made its way to the junkyard.

How did this all work out?! You stopped telling the story! (edit) o wait, never mind, still getting used to this... found the rest of it. Can't brain today! I have the dumb.
