<VV> [FC] Master Cylinder Suggestions

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

I think the other thing to consider is to make sure the master cylinder you  
use is one for "front disc/rear drum", and non-power... I seem to remember  
there's a check valve built into the disc brake port on the MCs.
I think there's a definite difference between a "power/non-power" master  
cylinder.... but I don't remember what it is.
Maybe some of you gear heads might know...
:-)
Later,
Lonzo
