Summit has a kit I bought a while ago-still need to install. Seems good quality.

I've read somewhere on this site that a 1979 Ford trk master is a good choice. Good that you're going with a dual piston master!!!!

Since there are drums on both axles, this won't work correctly? He wants a dual master cylinder for a drum system, something like a '68 Mustang, maybe.

Someone must make conversion kits. You would need to replumb the tubing to separate the front and back.

You have to change the mounting from 4 bolts to two, or make a bracket.

I used an EC-412 adapter from here: Engineered Components, Inc. - Your One Stop Brake Shop! along with the master cylinder from a 1970 Ford Mustang with manual drum brakes.
