My old rod has 66 bronco rear brake drums and 48 ford fronts. the master cylinder will be mounted on the firewall for all to see. Whats a good choice that will look early 60's and still be safe and do the job.
60's chevy truck - "Dual Bore" master cylinder . This is the brake/clutch m/c - and can be used so that both bores work the brakes. Easy to make a "balance bar" system out of it as well. They work great BTW - although may take a little fiddling to get the balance right.

Keep this in mind if your wondering about having enough brake pressure at the wheel cylinders and your pedal travel. I like to stick with 1" bore if possible when running manual drum brakes. </TD></TR><TR UNSELECTABLE="on" hb_tag="1"><TD style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height=1 UNSELECTABLE="on"> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
How about a 67 mustang master.I think that was the first year for a split system and its 40 years old!!
One more thing, look for a master with the ports pointing away from the engine. They always seem to be in the wrong place.
