My '70 Charger has the Cordoba 12" front discs with Calipers spec'd for a 75 Dart. The rear is the 11" Dr Diff disc kit using Ford Mustang calipers. I'm currently running a power booster and standard front disc/rear drum master cylinder. The bias is spot on, but the low vacuum makes low speed stopping a bit nerve wracking!
I am adding some weight in the form of frame connectors and torque boxes, and this may be time to shed a little weight elsewhere. I want to switch to a manual master cylinder. I'm unfamiliar with the relationship of Master Cylinder bore sizes and their effect on braking. My question here is: What master cylinders are our members using with their 4 wheel disc brake systems?

Is that used with 4 wheel discs? If so, is it a 4 bolt pattern or 2?
