yea you need to change it. a 1LE prop valve will do the trick, but if ya need any old one just grab one out of a 4 wheel disk car and youll be just fine.

No, you will need a thirdgen one if you wanna keep the same lines...

they dont have prop valves, they go in through the ABS system and its distributed through there, gotta find one from a thirdgen or a GM dealer, maybe GM parts direct has one.

however, an LS1 master cyl will work on your booster, it looks a hell of a lot nicer too.

You do need a prop valve and a master cylinder. You should be fine with stock 3rd gens ones. Get the ones listed for your 1992 model. Your booster should be fine. I see no reason to mess around with the 4th gen parts.

No advantage I can think of. Get a 3rd gen disc/disc master.

no advantage other than its not ugly like the stock thirdgen one. different resivour and the master cyl itself looks different, it just looks better, cleaner, thats all.
