Default 81 Master Cylinder

Which section of the MC goes to which caliper set on an 81? I lost pedal and the front section is low. Not empty, just very low. I found fluid on the inside of the front passenger tire so I'm tihnking the caliper is leaking and the front section feeds the front calipers. Stands to reason that is the case but wanted to ask here to make sure. This place is full guys with lots of experience and expertise. Any other tips about the fix is appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, the front is for the front.
When removing the flex line from the tubing at the frame, have a plug of some sort ready for the steel tubing. It will save you from having to bleed the front completely. Keep the master full of fluid.
If you don't have proper plugs, a rubber vacuum cap forced on will work.
