I didn't do the conversion on mine, but mine appears to be a single reservoir still. I don't know if it requires a dual reservoir or not. Sorry I wasn't much help.

Power or manual brakes? The bore is too large for manual brakes and your pedal will feel like pushing a rock with inadequate braking.

Don't go larger than 1" bore with manual and preferably a 15/16" bore.

That master looks like a good choice, however you will need a hood insert. I got mine from Paragon.

Dave, there's a lot of discussion in this thread on master cylinder options.

Keep in mind, if you retain the rear drums you'll need to incorporate a proportioning valve regardless.

Good luck... GUSTO
