Can anyone tell me what the bore size is for the OEM master brake cylinder that was used in a 1970 Mustang with Power front disk brakes? Not sure if they are different for power vs manual but I suspect not.

Thanks!

Well, since there were no 1970 Mustang manual disc brakes, it leaves only the power disc cylinder.

Bore size is 1".
To my knowledge, in 1970 they had the following brake options:
Manual 4 wheel drum
Power 4 wheel drum
Power front disc, rear drum.
