Your car looks like it is a 1st gen Firebird from looking at the attached images - correct? If so, our system # 3021 / 3023 or 3013 / 3014 will be a plug n play. What you should do for accuracy is to double check that your existing master cylinder is the later design without the deep MC pushrod hole as I supsect (as it looks like an aftermarket vacuum booster / MC combo, which is usually the short MC rod design) . Go ahead and unbolt the MC from the vac booster (while leaving the brake lines connected to the MC), then pull the MC out of the brake booster just far enough to see which MC rod design you are running. It is either going to be a short rod that does not stick out of the booster much, and a shallow little dimple in the MC piston - OR - it will have a long rod sticking out of the booster about an inch and a half and you would be able to stick a pencil into the back side of the MC about an inch and a half.

Here is a side by side comparison, with the early design / long MC rod style MC on the left, and the later design / short MC rod style on the right:



Our standard production PS linesets are setup to accomodate your existing mini pump arrangement, so have no worries about this.
