I really like how this comes with the adapter and an adjustable pushrod to make it practically plug n' play, and the fact that it's aluminum as well. http://www.reillymotorsports.com/store/ ... 273&page=1 What're you guys' thoughts on Wilwood master cylinders, neverminding the price? |

what kind of brakes do you have? I think the bore size is going to be small for any disk brakes that you might use. |

I'll be using the 11.75" discs with the larger bore calipers up front, and the stock drums in the back (still need to find out if I should go with the smaller bore wheel cylinders or if sticking with my stock cylinders and adding a proportioning valve in the rear brake line downstream of the distribution block would be the best way to go with bigger brakes up front). I was wondering about the MC's bore size myself. I would like a little less pedal effort, but I don't want it to travel all the way to the friggen firewall either. I'll be converting to manual brakes at the same time.There's also the 1 1/16" bore aluminum MC for manual brakes, but that still leaves me to having to source a manual brake pushrod. it does come with the adapter thought, which is a step in the right direction. Far less expensive too... What is the bore size of a factory '74 Duster disc/drum power MC anyway? |

You need the "bling?" If not Eburg sells aluminum MC's for a good price from time to time. |

I guess bling factor is a small part of it. I do like the clean look of the Wilwood MC. I'll go for practicality over that, though, and for what the kit comes with from Bill (Reilly), it's still spendy, but makes for a great candidate, given that it has the adjustable pushrod and comes with the MC adapter.After talking to Bill over on bigblockdart, I think the 7/8" bore will be a good way to go with manual brakes, especially since I decided to go with just the late B-body single piston front calipers. |

Yep, if you want bling polish the aluminum one before installation! |
