As has been stated, just go buy a master cylinder for a '67 up Mopar with
power drum brakes. It will bolt right on to your booster.

Dave (or anyone) ... while we're on tht topic of brakes ... here's
another question:

My '64 Fury came factory with power brakes, and with the 4-drum setup, a
single reservoir master cylinder.  Do you know if there's a way to keep
the booster (I've got an OEM replacement in a box), but change out the
master cylinder to a dual reservoir?

I'll convert to front discs down the road, but It'll have to wait for
some $$$ ... so ... should I keep the single master until I convert?  I
was thinking that it might be possible to convert to a dual now, even
though I am still running 4 drums, and adjust it with a manual
proportioning valve ...

Thanks in advance for the great dialogue ...

Jim
