I bought this 1965 Cuda site unseen and when it arrived my expectations were exceeded. Beautiful metal, paint, interior, rock solid CA car. I'm working my way thru some mechanical mysteries. It's pretty clear that someone upgraded to power brakes with some kind of kit. There is TONS of lost motion - the pedal goes almost all the way to the floor before the rod into the master starts moving. My inclination is to revert back to manual brakes and get all this crap out from under the hood. I like the manual brakes on our 64 Sport Fury. Does anyone recognize this kit?

No idea on the kit manufacturer, but I don't understand why someone would buy all new single reservoir stuff.
One brake seal goes and you have zero brakes.
Dual res masters will at least have one end or the other if something gives up.
 
That spacer between the booster and master cylinder is wrong also you may want to upgrade to a duel master cylinder. That brake booster looks like it is for a later car.
