manual brakes question..........
i have manual 4 wheel disc. i am restoring the brake system and i was wondering if a biiger bore mastercylinder would improve feel or performance. is their a gm part or would the strange 1.125 unit work? any answers or comments appreciated.

I just finished a complete change-out of the MC and all four calipers. If you're worried about getting more braking power, I'd stick with the stock unit. When the brakes are done right and working properly(which mine now are, and believe me, there wasn't much brake pedal at all before), there's plenty of brake pedal and power.
Make sure you change out the rubber hoses too. They go bad from the inside, and their cheap.
