it was new. Now its leaking right by the seal for the storage container for the MC. But before it wasnt really the best. The lines are fine, no leaks or air. Drums are adjusted. Just curios what MC is the best to run. do the pre 87 run better with dana 60/14 bolt?

From what I've read, try a pre IFS 1-ton MC. They are already designed to apply the extra pressure to the solid axles.

Hydroboost MC. I think they have a larger piston to push more fluid, and it does not have the "quick takeoff" feature (or whatever it is called when the pads come off the rotor after braking then move really close to the rotor); I may be wrong tho. But, that is what I plan on gettin when I ditch my IFS.

I think they came in all OOBS K30s (1ton). I may be incorrect about the exact years, but they came in the later OOBS models.
