Who here uses the 81-93 truck master on their manual brake car. I think the bore is 1 1/16. Is the pedal effort pretty high? Thanks Kim
 
I had one on my car with wilwood disc on all four corner. It was ok but I ended up going 15/16 and liked it better
 
Anything over 1" and manual is going to make the pedal harder to push. It may not be too bad with power brakes.
 
I've got one in my Duster, with 10.97" discs & 10" drums. Too hard of a pedal for my liking, I'll be going to a 15/16 pretty soon.
 
I switched from the 1 1/16 to a 15/16 and it's a night and day difference. This is on a '74 dart with factory disc's up front and drums in the rear and no power brakes. I love it.

Tried tried the 1-1/32" (w/Truck reservoir) and the smaller 15/16" (angled reservoir) - both from Dr. Diff. The bigger one on my Duster requires more leg effort than I really care for. We put the smaller one on my sons BB Dodge truck project (went from power to manual brakes) and it works really well. Will probably go to the smaller unit on the car but like the truck res.

Forget the 1-1/8" (1.125") truck MC's
 
I put a 95-99 Breeze ABS MC on my 64 Valiant and the pedal winds up in the same place (w/ 2-4 bolt adapter plate). I posted w/ photos. Bore is 7/8" ID. Cost ~$25 for a new MC w/ reservoir. Can wire the low-level sensor to gnd, in parallel w/ your dash e-brake lamp. My 96 Voyager does that, along w/ the imbalance switch (all 3 in parallel).
