Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Is there a dual circuit master that will bolt in to my '64? I am going to be using the stock drum brakes and would like to get rid of the single reservoir master. I had the fluid leak out of the rear of my '69 and was sure glad to still have front brakes, I want the same safety in my '64.

Thanks in advance!

Yes their is. We sell them for $39.00 plus shipping. I am putting one on while this was being posted and I took a break. You will need to fix your plumbing though.

You can get one from Krargens for less than $30.....I used it on the "Chief".

Yeah, I just got mine last week at Kragen for $18.99!! Thanks for the idea "Chief"....

Smart move! :metal:
I am shocked at all the work people put into their trucks, and keep the fruit jar.

I like the "old" look of that Kragens M/C.

Don't worry, we don't have Kragen's around here so I'll give you call sometime this week! Gotta support those that support the board. Plus you're in Texas, right? :metal:

Hi guys nubi here,

Pretty much looking to do the same on my 65, but when I go to the local parts store they only show the single master cylinder, should I be asking for different year truck to get the dual master cylinder?

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

ask for one for a 1967
and hello to the forum. this place rocks

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Subscribed. I need safe brakes.

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

'67-'70 trucks would have dual reservior masters for drum/drum brake systems. If you are running disc/drum brakes and want a manual dual reservior master, they were available from '71 thru about '74 or so.

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Disc/drum, you can use much newer than 74 too. I have used the 80s era one with the plastic reservoirs too.

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Sweet thanks for the info, plan on just keepin the original running gear for a while. Local parts store had one in stock for 30.00. I might put together a "how to" article during my installation. I write service manuals for Ford Motor Co. so I should be able to put a pretty clear instruction manual for this update that might help others. This older stuff is kinda new to me but should be pretty easy after my last engine manual for the 2010 F-150 Raptor 6.2L LOL.

Thats cool. Where do you work for FMC? My son works for FMC

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Was that a manual brake master?

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Beat me to it, I was wondering the same thing.

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Here is the one I used for disc/drum. I see this type in many aftermarket kits and is refered to as 'corvette' ms/cyl. I'm not a brake guru so I dont really know, but for info anyway...

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Yes its called a Corvette style MC its not an exact replica cause their are no numbers on it. We have them on sale now for $30.00 each. Lowest price in country. They will work for manual or Power by removing the included spacer to adjust your rod len.

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Can I use the same rod in the firewall to swap this over and can I bye brake lines the right length or would I have to make my own?

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

I made my own lines, and extended the rod.....both of which were simple.

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

Thanks Cheifrocka. How do you know how long to make the rod so the pedal is in the right place?

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

With the Corvette style you shouldnt have to mess with the rod. Or I didnt. I bench bled it and bolted it up and it was good to go.

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

mbgmike's works real well I bought one and dont have to fool with the rod either and for the price yea.

Re: Dual-circuit master cylinder with non-power brakes?
 

I have a 67-70 model dual master brake cyl. I think, but the bolt holes do not line up on one side. Is this a problem or do I need a diff. model unit?
