Detailed Product Information
MPA Electrical NM1738 is a brake master cylinder engineered to restore hydraulic braking performance on select GM intermediate and personal luxury cars from 1978-1980. It is listed for Buick Century and Regal, Chevrolet El Camino, Malibu, and Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Cutlass variants, and Pontiac Grand Am, Grand LeMans, Grand Prix, and LeMans models with front disc brakes. This part cross-references 18003755 and 18005259 for the same application.
The unit includes the reservoir and cap, while the dust boot, mounting hardware, gasket or seal, brake booster, push rod, sensor, mounting bracket, and brake pressure switch are not included. NM1738 is a direct hydraulic replacement for drivers servicing a worn or leaking master cylinder on classic GM A-body brake systems.
What This Part Helps Address
- Low or inconsistent brake pedal feel
- External brake fluid leakage at the master cylinder
- Internal hydraulic bypass that reduces braking performance
- Brake warning symptoms tied to master cylinder wear
- Loss of braking response on front disc brake systems
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify bore size, mounting hole spacing, and brake system configuration before installation. Bench bleed the master cylinder before connecting brake lines, and use fresh DOT 3 brake fluid during service. Inspect the booster, lines, and wheel circuits for contamination or wear before returning the vehicle to service.
Quality Assurance
MPA Electrical tests each master cylinder against OE specifications using controlled processes and sample-based validation from its OE reference library. That approach supports consistent hydraulic performance for 1978-1980 Buick Century and Regal, Chevrolet Malibu and Monte Carlo, and other listed front disc brake applications.
