factory type master cylinders are fairly cheap. It's more work than anything to try out the smaller bore master. You might consider changing out the brake pads at the same time as part of a brake service and see how you like it. If you hate it, you've still got the old stuff.

I'm assuming you have the D154 calipers for the rear?

Its also a right stuff kit in the rear, but Im told they are basically factory equipment for early 70s A bodies.

As a brake system novice here, can you shed some light on this? How did you bolt the master to the firewall? Did the factory pedal work? Does it feel like manual vs power steering, where you get way more feedback for a bit more effort? Trying to figure if I have to look into this vs the Chinese knockoff factory disc/disc booster/master that I have on mine now.

Thanks.
