In other words, can you take a new unit such as from Napa or somewhere and use the old bolt on cover...in place of the bolt on cover they currently sell that is a one hump, inverted bath tub looking thing? Yes, I have done it with no issues, just make sure your bolt isn't too long so that it bottoms out before the cap is tight.

I've never had a master for a drum brake mopar with a bail, always been a bolt on. And I'm pretty sure I've seen the 'bathtub' one he's describing & it's a bolt on. The bail MC were for disc cars originally, I think. Maybe some drum replacements have the bail, now?

Ok, obviously these two won't swap. This isn't the two I was talking about.

If I am not mistaken? The one on the left is for power drum brakes and the right non power drums.
But I have been wrong before!

i don't think there is any difference in power or manual master cylinders using drum brakes. disc brakes had a different master cylinder.

Does anyone know if the two hump m/c cylinder cover, drum brake, will fit the after market m/c, which comes with the inverted bathtub cover. [/quote
Yes,if you mean the cover with the raised top with a center bolt.

I have a couple original mopar drum brake master cylinders and one or 2 of the aftermkt masters with the single hump lid.
Over the weekend , I'll pull the lids off one of each and see if they interchange with no issues.

Without falling into possibly being tricked by the cap how can you tell if the master cylinder is original (original type) for a 69?
stampings on the MC body?
Yes, stampings along the bottom & front. The new replacement I bought from Napa in '78 had that extra little bump right on the front & originals don't have that so it's easy to spot. It did come with that cap though which looks just like an original, even down to the bolt head having that funny little 'H'.
