Hi, I am in need of a new master cylinder. What I find is that there seems to be a difference in manual brake master cylinders for 2WD or 4WD applications (Ebay, LMC, JCW). Exterior of the two types looks exactly the same. what is the difference ? Does it have to with the residual check valves ?
Thanks / Bart.

Re: 69F100 Master Cylinder
The residual valve, the diameter of the plunger in the master cylinder, the fitting size and the volume of the individual reservoirs.

Re: 69F100 Master Cylinder
In their original installation from the factory, a MC port or ports going to the drum brake circuits would have had an RPV in the port (just under the inverted flare seat).
If you by a direct replacement MC from the parts stores today, chances are very great that there won't be an RPV installed in the MC.

Re: 69F100 Master Cylinder
Do I need to install RPV if missing from the replacement MC ? Wheel cylinders are approx. 10 years old.
I ordered following on ebay: Brake Master Cylinder-PG Plus Professional Grade New fits 68-75 Ford F-250
Raybestos MC39468
Interchange Part Number: M83579, 130.65012, 131.65012, MC79775, 12260
http://www.ebay.nl/itm/132162363487?ul_noapp=true
As far as I can find, MC for F250 and F100 for 68-71 are identical. However the listing does not mention 2WD or 4WD.
Would that be OK for my 69F100RWD ?
