RE: Mopar master cylinders - preference?

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a manual kit that I used and I really don't know what the dia of 
mine is but I suspect it must be about 3" as I really gotta push on the 
brake pedal. I call 'em power brakes as it takes all my power. Now this 
may sound a tad dangerous but really they stop excellently! However I 
will eventually be looking for a MC with the smaller 1" piston.
