Turn every push of the brake pedal into steady hydraulic pressure with the Dorman - First Stop Brake Master Cylinder M101262. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1979-1981 Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile Toronado, plus a range of 1981 GM models including the Buick Century and Regal, Chevrolet El Camino, Malibu and Monte Carlo, GMC Caballero, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Cutlass Calais, Cutlass Cruiser and Cutlass Supreme, and Pontiac Grand Prix and LeMans (engine: All).
This master cylinder is precision-built to match the design, function and performance of the original unit on the listed applications, so it pressurizes the brake circuits the way the factory part did.
A sinking or spongy pedal, internal fluid bypass, or fluid loss at the master cylinder are signs this component may need replacing; diagnose the cause before installing. A reservoir is included; a sensor and mounting hardware are not. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. Country of origin: China.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this master cylinder do?
It converts brake-pedal force into hydraulic pressure and sends it through its two outlets to the brake circuits on the listed 1979-1981 GM vehicles.
Does it include a reservoir?
Yes, a reservoir is included. A sensor and mounting hardware are not included.
What is it made of?
The cylinder housing is cast iron, built to match the casting material of the original, and all rubber components use a high-quality EPDM compound for glycol-based brake fluid resistance.
What are the bore and outlet specs?
It has a 24 mm bore, two outlets, and a 1/2-20 rearward outlet size, and is made to meet SAE International standards.
How do I know if my master cylinder needs replacing?
A sinking or spongy pedal, internal fluid bypass, or fluid loss at the master cylinder can be signs; have the cause diagnosed first, since other brake parts can cause the same symptoms.
