Normally the front port is for the rear brakes and rear port (closest to the firewall) is for front brakes.

As said the larger port is always for the front brakes & will always be next to the firewall & if both are the same size then same thing, the one next to the firewall will be for the front brakes. OT If you are useing 73-76 A body calipers be sure to ask for ones for a '76 A body as they have a larger bore (2.75" as opposed to 2.60" for '73 -'75) which gives more front bias, always a good thing.

Most of the smaller bore aluminum chrysler based master cylinders have no bias. For example, pre abs Caravans had cross braking hydraulic systems. Each port on the master cylinder controled one front brake, and the opposite rear brake.
This is not to say they cannot be used on a front to rear split system, but understand that there is no bias built into MOST of the non truck masters.
