Any reason why this Master Cylinder wouldn't work

I put discs on my 68 442. The donor car was a 1973 Omega. I don't know what made me choose this master cylinder in 2005. Can you see any reason this MC would not function correctly on my car?

Part Number: NMC M1974
Product Line: NAPA Ultra Premium Master Cylinders
Attributes:
# of Line Ports : 2
Brake Master Cylinder Bore Size : 1.125"
Brake Master Cylinder Line Thread Size : 9/16"-18, 1/2"-20
Finish : Rust-Preventative Finish
New Components : 100% New OE Quality Seals

I'm just wondering what booster you might be running and is it for an Omega or Cutlass. The MC numbers for a 68 or 70 Cutlass (I checked both) aren't the same as yours. The Omega looks like it runs a different booster than the cutlass/442 too (I'm assuming you have power brakes). I would assume the brake actuator rod might be a different length for the Omega

Yes, power brakes. This was the booster that was on my car when I purchased it. I sent it to Brakeboosters.com for a rebuild and polish back in 2003. I just spoke to the guy and he says he always returns the booster sent to him. If in fact he sent me what I sent him, I should be allright. How does a 1" vs 1.125" bore on a master cylinder effect things?
