Default Brake Master Cyl

I've got a 67 coupe that I swapped in disc brakes from a Granada. My car had manual drums brakes all the way around. What is the best master cylinder to use? Some people say use the one from the Granada, but it had disc/drum power brakes. Other sites say use a master cyl from a 76 Granada with manual disc/drums, some say 72 Bronco with manual disc/drums. I am staying with manual brakes as I don't want to do the power booster right now. Just wondering what other people have used that worked well and what issues they ran into. Thanks for all the help...

I don't know much about the Granada swap, but in general, you will want a m/c with the same size bore as the donor vehicle had, and a m/c with a lack of built in RPV's. (for the ALL wheels if 4 wheel disk etc.)

That said, I would go with an early Mustang version of a M/C that achieves these objectives.

I would look at a stock 67 m/c before anything else. I am betting 99% that a 67 front disk brake m/c will do the job just fine, no fuss, no muss...

As far as domestic m/c's go, for the most part it is all about the bore size when using for a different application......

Ogre,
I converted my fronts to disks also and used the existing MC with no problems. But I do wonder if there is more performance to be gained with a different one.
