Good morning folks. The car: 71 Duster, 440 w/tunnel ram and 2 4bbl's. 727, Dana 60, 3' drop axle in front. Yes a gasser inspired build. It has manual 11" GM style brakes up front (GM metric calipers D154 pads) and 11x2.5" drums in the rear. I'll list the parts I have on the shelf to work with, you tell me what you would try or recommend I start with.

15/16" Dr. Diff master cylinder
1.04" master cylinder

7/8" rear wheel cylinders
15/16" rear wheel cylinders

Stock styled single 2.5" piston cast calipers D154 pads
Wilwood 1.62" dual piston aluminum calipers D154 pads

Looking for starting points, and reasons for them.
I know me and there is a real good chance I'll eventually try every combination just out of curiosity.:lol:
