Master cylinder leaking
I have a 66 F250 with a crown vic front end. The master cylinder, even with a new cover gasket continues to leak. Any reason for this? Would a new master cylinder be necessary? Is the original cylinder not big enough to handle the new front disks? Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is annoying.

If it's a cast iron MC, then definitely not what came in the CV. They would have a MC with a cylindrical aluminum body and a see-through plastic reservoir.
I didn't see it mentioned whether you have a vacuum brake booster or, if the existing MC is mounted straight to the firewall (manual brakes)?
A photos(s) of your setup would help clarify what you have.
