Default GM Clutch Master Cylinder Differences?

I believe the OEM (GM) clutch master cylinder is #10147953 which apparently is discontinued.
Rock Auto lists a GM #385358 clutch master cylinder;

Is this correct? Is this part junk?

Just curious at this point in time....but want to be prepared for when I do need to replace the master cylinder.

Thanks

I bought my last one from Advance Auto because of all the local ones available, it looked just like the A/C Delco one and I got a 1 year local guarantee. Since GM is no longer making the part, they "source" parts from other suppliers and slap their name and an extra 30% on it.

Rockauto is a great supplier but when you add shipping into the price, they usually are not cost effective. My Vette is also my DD so I rarely have the luxury of waiting for a part, lol. If I have time I look on eBay for parts sellers that are closing out stock. I bought a knock sensor for half price and an IAC at about half as well. Those were maintenance items so I had time.

Ditto ^. And don't forget Craigslist. Sometimes you can get parts that are 'laying around' for a decent price, but always remember the caveats especially for elect stuff.

Default Clutch master and slave

Just had the master and slave replaced in my 86 convertible in August. Both came from Napa (around $50 ea) and both have work flawlessly for me once all the air got bled out of the line.
