Posted by don on 7/8/2007, 12:09 pm, in reply to "63 Falcon brakes" Get a dual drum/drum master cylinder from a 67 Mustang. Use your current push rod instead of the one supplied. You will need to brass brake line block which can be obtained from many sources. These came on all of the later Fords such as Mustang, Comet, Maverick and they have a port for the idiot light or you can use it for your brake lights instead. Metro Mustang sells a new master if you want to go that route instead of a rebuilt one. don --Previous Message--
