70 CUDA MASTER CYLINDER - 09/01/12 06:48 AM
LOOKING FOR AN AFTER MARKET PIECE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF LOOK AS AN ORIG. THE ORIGINALS ARE JUST TO MUCH MONEY. DONT CAR ABOUT THE NUMBERS JUST WOULD LIKE IT TO LOOK AS CLOSE AS AS POSS.
I SEE SOME PAINTED BLACK AND SOME NOT?
THANK YOU, PETE

Seeing that you have a post about masters and boosters...either use Dewey for the booster rebuild or purchase a Cardone unit from Autozone/Napa/CarQuest or any parts supplier who carries Cardone, including SummitRacing.com they carry the Cardone line of new/remanufactured OEM parts
Here's the list of 70 340 E body power brake set ups for either disc or drum

Your choices are either to use a '67-70 B body type disc brake master cylinder or the '71-'75 Mopar "one size fits all" master cylinder. The B body one has a 1-1/8" bore, the '71 up style has a 1-1/32" bore. The OEM master had a 1" bore. The 1-1/8" one, which can be purchased aftermarket as Raybestos MC36283 has a closer look to original as it has the "thermometer" style geometry on the front. The other one I mentioned is Raybestos MC36307. I've used both styles on my '70 and '71 PDB Challengers and both work, the 36283 has a harder pedal and the brakes are a little sensitive, so maybe the 36307 is a bit better functionally, but both work.
Disc brake masters should be painted semi gloss black.

white post restorations also does nice work on the boosters as well.

Ya the 70E only Bendix units can be big bucks. If your just wanting a good driver unit that looks correct then the cardone units that Dayclona listed are a good way to go. If you look at alot of their's you'll see that they are actually Ford boosters. Ford used the same Bendix unit in millions of cars. You can see where they cut off the 2 master cylinder "Ford" studs and installed the 4 "Mopar" studs. Still works just fine.
Bendix units are black.

I have used this master on a few cars. Looks similar and is reasonably priced.
