Brake fluid level
Dumb question... how full should the original single-circuit master cylinder be on my '66 F100? This is the screw on (plastic) top style. Thanks!

Should be markings on the cylinder itself.

I don't believe there are. I presume you don't want to fill it full to the top, right? And push the diaphram back up into the lid when re-filling, correct?

The manual for '64 says refill to 3/8ths of the top of reservoir, same type single pot. That should work for you.
