I can't remember where but I've seen some master cylinders that work both ways.... power and non power.

Inline Tube has a dual MC with lines and the splitter block for front/rear distribution. I used it for my '64 with manual drums. Had to reform the lines a little but still working fine after about 6 years. I think it was about $175 at the time

I bought my 4 wheel disc conversion from The Right Stuff Detailing https://www.getdiscbrakes.com/ . They sell a lot of stuff for our cars to include brake and fuel lines as well as suspension parts. I think they are the ones that provided the lines for Performance Years. I also bought all new stainless steal brake lines and 3/8" stainless steal fuel line as well as the braided flexible brake lines. I have been happy with everything I got from them but the car has not been put back on the road yet.

This looks like a worth while kit:

I solved the issue by selling the car 2 years ago.

You cantry a 66 Cadillac master if you want the outlets on the opposite side, if you need room for the lines.

Both Rambler & Cadillac went to a dual MC in '62.

We trailered the ‘64 Tempest home in ‘03 from my wife’s grandmother’s house. I was winching it up on the trailer and wife was steering. I heard a “pffffffssssshhhh” and my wife yelled “hey the brake pedal went way down”.
The car has front discs and a dual M/C now!

When I was a National SCCA Tech Inspector back in the early 1980s we used to do a
FORCEFUL BRAKE APPLICATION on the pedal of the SCCA entries.

Had at least 10 brake line failures on these vehicles doing the test.

Some of these were really fine older vehicles, (camero, firebird, mustang), even an occasional VW. The "racers were not happy if their 1st time track vehicles failed the tests and could not compete.

A Chrysler Engineer (whose wife was the Chief Technical Inspector) would have a
friendly talk with them about endangering the other vehicles/drivers on the track.
