I have a master cylinder from my 1990 s13 parts car without ABS and it has 3 brake lines going into it. I was wondering if i can still use this for my 89 with ABS. The one without ABS has 3 ports and the one with ABS has 2 ports for 2 brake lines. I was thinking of plugging the extra hole on the one from my parts car and using it. Is it advisable to do this ? Has anyone done it before? ---

It will work fine if you plug one hole on the master cylinder and use one line to ‘T’ off to both front brakes. Anybody who installs a line lock on their vehicle has to do the same and the brakes still work just fine. ---
