OEM 2-bolt aluminum master cylinders with plastic reservoir:
'95 Lebaron 7/8" bore**
'89 Dakota 15/16" bore**
'85 Diplomat (F-body) 1 1/32" bore*
'85 D-150 1 1/8" bore*
**Back of piston must be bored to accept manual brake push rod and retainer.
* Back of piston will accept manual brake push rod and retainer.
Rule of thumb:
1. Master cylinder piston size is relative to caliper piston size. Large caliper pistons require large MC piston.
2. All things equal, smaller bore master = higher line pressure and longer, softer pedal stroke.
Thanks, I didnt know what size the different body lines used

That is why I use the big bore.If you use a lot of braided line the pedal will fill like a soft grapefruit.
I use the braided for the whole set up and it has a little softness but not much... not worth my changing it
