Default 68 Firebird Manual Disc Master Cylinder Picture

Does anyone have a picture of an original manual disc brake master cylinder for a 1968 Firebird? I have seen several different ones on restored cars but not sure what the correct original one looks like. Thanks.

This was on a '68 manual disc car that I restored several years ago. Two owner car that had been stored since the mid-80's, so possibly original. That's the best that I can offer.

Thanks for the picture. I have seen that style on a few cars. I have been told that it should have the bleeder screws above the brake line outlet. I don't know if that's true.

I have a large archive of 67-69 Firebird reference pix.

Much easier to share pix of Facebook, email, or text.
