    Can anyone recommend a dual reservoir, power or non power master cylinder that will bolt up using the original mounting bolts?

    I plan on running stock drum brakes, with y block.

    Thanks in advance to respondents.

    Torino for drum drum 67 68 or 69. It will bolt in the bottom of the four holes. You will need to put bolts in the top two holes to hold a bracket on under the dash. The pushrod may be to short, you may have to weld in a plug about 3/8 to 1/2 inch long.

    I used a '71-'73 Mustang unit on mine. Bolts right in.

    Granada with manual brakes works good with a set of granada spindles.

    You want to shoot for a 15/16's bore for a manual brake car. The 1" to 1 1/8" are great for power booster cars.

    A company out of Austin caries a complete line of parts for disc conversions for these cars that is engineered together and bolts on. I think Drop and Stop may carry thier stuff.

    A 96 Cobra Mustang is a 15/16 bore and is great for a 4whl disc brake car.
     
  6. Try to match the size of the donor car, so a Galaxie master is probably the best for a '57 Ford. It depends on where you want the lines to come out from. So look at some on Rock Auto to get an idea.

    If you still have the original battery placement late 60s amc master cylinder has the ports on the opposite side.
