It is my understanding that from speaking with Roger at AAJ that HE
modifies that master cylinder and drills and taps it for the hydraulic
switch, so if you get the master cylinder from him, it comes that way.
So, perhaps that's where Tim Satter got his.

The '68
Roadrunner M/C fits very well. It uses
some funky fittings, but I got them off of "adapter lines" from Pep
Boys and just flared them onto new lines. I did have to turn down the
last 1/2" of the original adjustable power brake pushrod. I turned it
down on a grinder to better fit in the hole on the m/c pushrod rather
than just cutting it shorter. Oh, by
the way, there are two versions of this. A short one, with a bolt-on
cap, and a tall one, with a bail wire cap. You'll need the shorter
one. I bought a brand new Wagner one for about $50 with no core charge.
You have to rig up a manual power brake
switch though, unless someone could ID this m/c -- it seems identical
to the roadrunner m/c except for the brake light fitting. http://www.forwardlook.net/events/Carlisle2004/im004710.jpg
Anbody know what one it is? It's on Tim Satter's '57 DeSoto

I need to replace
or update the mastercylinder on my 57 Coronet, 325 manual brake car.
Discussions a while back focused on a newer, dual MC that was a direct
replacement for our single MC. I understand the safety factor, but how
difficult is this conversion, and what besides the MC is required (Line
splitter box, rerouting of brake lines, etc)?
Also plan to replace the transmission emergency brake at the same time,
since mine is saturated by fluids from many years of use and long
periods of sitting. Are these available from NAPA or other "quality"
parts houses?
