which master cylinder to run?

[hemidart1]

I need a master cylinder for my '66 Valiant(Dart). I want to run manual brakes(drums all around).
What is the best year/model to buy?

thanks guys
Al.

Unless there is upgrade involved like dual line (safety feature), you may as well just replace with same as original. A dual line from 67 up model might require a perportion valve change also.

I've got to redo the whole brake system anyhow.

I used a later aluminum unit. There is lots of info out there on how to use one of these. At quick glance, this one article has some info:

Also, Zippy - who I'm not sure is on this board or not, can help you with the adapter and can likely help you with the whole setup.

Over on moparts.com rick ehrenberg from Mopar Action has new aluminum master cylinders with the adaptor needed for something like $65. I think its in the race parts for sale forum. I don't need one but at that price I was thinking about buying one for a spare.

I found Ehrenberg's ad on Moparts in the abody parts for sale, November section, Ad #3924272 - posted Fri. Nov. 02 2007 03:07 PM.
It's the second Ehrenberg ad, quite a ways down the page.

:sign3: I did that to my Dart and MAN what a difference. It stops so much better that my power brakes ever did and has a better pedal "feel" also.
My Duster is getting the same treatment soon.

The kit is made for getting rid of the power booster and switching back to manual brakes but I don't know why it wouldn't work just as well for you also.
