We are working on installing a dual reservoir master cylinder in my 64 and noticed that both of the reservoirs are the same size. We think that the rear (closest to the firewall) goes to the rear brakes and that the front goes to the front brakes. Is this correct?

Hi Dalton,

Front bowl/rear brakes - rear bowl/front brakes.

Here is a good place to check out - Dick Harrington is a smart and kind guy.

I wouldn't use the pressure activated brake light switch as in the article... go with the mechanical switch that goes on the pedal arm.
