Master Cylinder
Was wondering if someone can steer me the right way on what master cylinder to buy. I have the 72 442 with power drums on all 4 corners. will a disk brake master cylinder work, or will it create problems? have one sitting around. if anybody has part number or pic's. Thanks

Other members can verify or correct me, but I believe the drum brake power and non-power use the same master cylinder. This will have the same sized reservoirs for the front/rear brakes. The disc brake master cylinder will have a much larger reservoir for the front brakes.

looks like the one on my car is for the disk/drum car. would it be a smart idea to change to the one you sent Joe P? what is the difference will I see if I put the right one on? here's a pic of the one on my car now with all drum brakes.
