Brake master cylinder

Is there really a difference in the power brake master cylinder compared to the non power?

Re: Brake master cylinder

Yes for non power the mc push rod cylinder is resesed further to prevent the rod from falling out. The power mc push rod cylinder has just a dimple on it.

That's the case with disc brake 71/72 applications, but my understanding is that master cylinders are the same, whether you have a power booster or not if you've got a 67-70. Is that what you ment?

Ya sorry. The way I understand it is 71/72 were mostly power brakes that's why if you go with manual brake with front disks its a pain to find a manual mc.
