That totally depends on the car, the brake package and the year.

2808599 is a drum brake master cylinder. 67-70 drum brake Mopars all used the same master cylinder and it had the bolt on style cap. Generally accepted to be cast iron with plated cap, though I have NOS examples that have the body E coated black with a plated cap. The OP asked about a disc brake master cylinder. All the Mopar disc brake master cylinders from '67-'70 were painted gloss black except the flange and the area by the outlets where protective plugs were installed prior to painting. Here is an NOS assembly line '67-'70 A body manual disc brake master cylinder casting number 2225541 date coded 212th day of '69. Interestingly has a splotch of white paint on the front of the bore area of the casting. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scope.gif)

I can live with that. Looks like that's a book I should get.
I myself would not use that book for reference restoration.

There are lots of mistakes in every car book article I've ever seen or read I own a 1969 Dart GTS 383 4 speed car without power brakes, it has the stock Kelsey Hayes front disc brakes on it, this is the M.C. that was on it when I bought it in the early 1990s,(this car was sold at Saddleback dodge in Orange County, CA in late 1968) it works very well, it doesn't seem to have a residual valve in the back half of the M.C., the front tires spin as easy as any other front disc brake Mopar I have owned, drivened and worked on or raced
According to themoparman (Wayne) who restores M/Cs you should have M/C 2225541 which has the 1" bore suited for the A body manual and disk brakes. Looks like you have a manual brake M/C. It also looks like someone like orange.
