Is there really any difference? which one is better? I just added disc brakes to my 68 & it had drum/drum so i need to upgrade the master cylinder. ive been reading here and there about the 74 maverick master.

68dustin,
Are you asking about power assisted discs or manual non power?

If Factory power Disc brakes, then you need the MC 36251 Master, if Manual--No Booster--You need the 36440 Master (Maverick Style).
