The Summit 1 1/8" Corvette MC says it has a deep brake rod hole (normally used for manual), yet it says it is for power brakes.
If you have high pedal pressure, you might consider a 1 1/16" or 1" MC.
the 1.1/8 come with a spacer to use for power brakes and you remove it for manual. We have used many of these on manual brakes and they work fine.
