I know the difference is the pistons, but how do I know which one I have without taking it apart, if possible? PJ

PJ,

I don't know of a way to look at the housing and tell which one you have.

Of course if it were me, and I was doing a frame off restoration, I would take the darn thing apart regardless. I think I've had mine apart three times in 30 years. Take digital pictures and carefully note the re-installation order of the parts, assuming the last guy did it correctly.

warmly,
dave

Yup, your right! Just take it apart and look! Everything in the system gets rebuilt anyway, along with new lines as the old ones have a few dents in them. Thanks! PJ
