The Plymouth part we list
The only Plymouth listing is a brake master cylinder for the 1949 Deluxe, made by A1 Cardone. The master cylinder converts pedal pressure into hydraulic pressure for the brakes. On a car of this age, original brake parts may have been changed over the years, so compare the listing with the master cylinder fitted to your car.
Checking fit on a 1949 Plymouth
Look at the mounting points, the bore size if stated, and the line fittings on your current master cylinder, and compare them with the listing. If the brake system has been converted or upgraded, the original part may not match. Confirm the year in the fitment table, and compare part numbers where your old unit still shows one.
Fitting a master cylinder
Bench bleed the new master cylinder before installing it, as most makers advise. Once fitted, bleed the whole brake system until the pedal is firm, and check every line for leaks. Classic brake hoses and wheel cylinders are often worn too, so inspect them while the system is open. Test the brakes at low speed before driving normally.
Plymouth questions
Do you sell Plymouth parts?
We currently list one Plymouth part: an A1 Cardone brake master cylinder for the 1949 Deluxe. No other Plymouth parts are listed right now.
Do I need to bench bleed a new master cylinder?
Most makers recommend bench bleeding before installation, followed by bleeding the full brake system. This removes air and gives a firm pedal.
What if my Plymouth brakes have been upgraded?
An upgraded system may use a different master cylinder. Compare the mounting, fittings and part number on your current unit with the listing before ordering.
