<VV> Dual or Single Master Cylinder

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Not sure what's different on the inside. On the 300ZXTT, the proportioning  
valve is built into the master cylinder, and I THINK it blocks off the port on  
the dead circuit. Not sure why the Subaru MC doesn't hit the floor with one  
bleeder open. The Fiero looks like GM business as usual. Even down to the  
warning switch block. Yes, I know it has a separate plastic reservoir, but I  
don't think the guts work materially differently from a Corvair dual MC. Hence  
my questions.. <G>
