"Does the master cylinder fail is such a sudden way?
My parts guy says a new one is about $150. No rebuild kits for this.
P/N is 893 611 021 . . both brake lines are on Port side . . bleeder valve
on end."  SJ

Bleeder valve on the end?  What bleeder valve?  Brake lines on Port side"?
They're on both sides in the picture on the Worldpac site.   Yes, they DO
fail like that, $150 is a VERY good price (since dealer list is $404), and
my shop cost is $178.85.  Be aware there are THREE different master
cylinders (depending on how your car is equipped), and you need to be sure
you get the right one. HTH, John
