A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Already beat you to it, I ordered them both from the place out of Louisiana.  I tried to go direct to their website but they didn't have the 2004r parts listed there they had everything else.  So I went back and purchased through ebay.  I figured direct might have been cheaper and saved them ebay fees.  I have big projects going on at work all week so I don't have time to call them.

Aww come on $1600 is just the initial investment.  After that you also have the cost of new front end sheet metal.

I guess its pretty cool that somebodys making such a part that was such low production.
other than the 85 1/2' through 87 turbobuicks, wasn't it just some buick station wagons that had the powermaster?

It would be nice if it was affordable.   The power assist was better with the power masterl until it failed.

All 86 B-Body wagons came with a powermaster.  The angle/size of the fluid reservoir on the B-Body powermaster is different form the turbo Regals/GNs/GNXs.

I've been interested to see what the price is on the NEW Powermasters.  I have good brakes on both cars, GN #1 has Powermaster and GN #2 has Vacuum.  I can argue both sides of the argument!!!! :rofl:

I think some diesel cars had power master also.  Can you confirm that?
