Select your master cylinder carefully. In addition to having to be a drum/drum master cylinder it must have pistons large enough for the old Ford wheel cylinders which are larger than most modern wheel cylinders. Trucks maybe? I think I would post on HAMB (https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ssage-board.5/) looking for recommendations. I took the easy way out and just run a '39 Ford master cylinder.
