Convert your 1964-66 Mustang to a Dual Bowl Master Cylinder

Have you considered changing your early 1964-66 "suicide" Manual Single Bowl Master over to a Dual Bowl?

Many shops charge a pretty penny for this swap that ends up being extremely easy for the average guy...

We have outlined the details for this conversion below...  All you need is a Dual Bowl Master Cylinder, for Manual Front Drums C9AZ-2140-DR, or Manual Front Disc C8ZZ-2140-AR and a couple of fittings (available at your local auto parts store).

It's important to note, if you have power brakes, you will need to change the complete system using one of our Power Disc Brake Conversions due to the size of the stock brake booster...

Do not use Teflon Tape on your connections and be careful not to cross thread these fittings

bulletRemove line going into front of old M/C and remove old master.
bulletCarefully remove push rod (you can easily loose the snap ring) and install in new M/C
bulletInstall in the new M/C and mount on firewall (bolts right up).
bulletBend the line that was in the front of the old master and run it into the back (closest to firewall) of new M/C (large reservoir on Disc Brakes) = Front Brakes
bulletLocate the line coming from the rear brakes where it enters the distribution block...
bulletRemove this line and get a 3/16" double flare fitting and plug that spot on the dist. block...
bulletBend the rear line to run into the front of the new M/C (small res.) = Rear Brakes
bulletThis will require a 3/8" to 3/16" fitting for the rear brake line to enter the new master....
bulletFill with brake fluid and bleed...

If you car has rear disc brakes, you may want to run a Proportioning Valve.  If so, just run this in-line with the rear brake line close to the master cylinder.  You will need to make a short brake line to run from the open side of the valve to the M/C.
