I want to change over to the aluminum master cylinder because I am tired of trying to fix the leaking cast master cylinder cover on my Dart. I want a nice all around daily driver feel to the brakes, nothing harsh but I can't remember what bore is the best for me. This is for a power front disc, rear drum application. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
The bigger the better on the MC, you can use all the braking you can get with these old cars, the bigger bore doesn't really change the feel but it sends more fluid to the wheels with less pedal travel. I used an 85 Dodge truck MC on my Fish and my Dart. You just need to make sure that if you still have drums then you need a MC for drum brakes.
 
I am getting an aluminum master cylinder for a 1985 5th Ave. Will this work right with my power brake booster? I know I will need the adapter but is there anything that I need to do with the push rod?? Thanks guys.
