Master cylinder leaking

Post by 91Bear »

I've got a 1969 Ford with manual drum brakes. All the fluid leaked out of the reservoir for the rear brakes. I bought a new MC. If I decide to add a booster, will I have to buy a different MC or will a booster just bolt up behind it - assuming I can find the brackets?

If I need a different MC, what are the differences between the manual and power master cylinders?

About the only thing you'll need are the brackets, the booster and a place on the intake to hook the vacuum hose. Your M/C will work with the booster although you may need a different push rod page if it doesn't come with the booster. Flashback F100 has the brackets.
