Hey everyone, I have a couple of questions regarding Master Cylinders.
I currently have a 66' coupe A/T, 289 2 barrel, power brakes, leaky single bowl, drum brakes all around.

1. I wanted to upgrade to a dual bowl, but I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade only the cylinder part or would I need a whole new power brake setup and master cylinder.

2. Eventually I am thinking of upgrading to disc brakes, if I were to would I have to change the master cylinder again as well?

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before, I used the search function and sifted through as many threads as I could but I couldn't find it.

You can up grade to a duel bowl master cylinder but you will need to up grade the front brake lines as well .It is simple to do and everything is a bolt on . Get the front brake line kit for a 67-68 and the master cylinder as well and it is simple . An adjustable proportioning valve will be needed as well
