Any leak at all and you have no brakes - too dangerous a risk to look "correct".

Maybe it's a trailer poodle and the only safety is worrying about running someone over while it's being pushed on and off the trailer ???
No show poodle ,thats for sure.I want it to look stock at a glance as it is a factory hemi car,however I am installing a 630hp stroker hemi, firm feel steering,bigger T bars etc because it is going to be a fun driver.I am going to install a 1972 disc master cylinder and combo valve that I have here and remove the single reservoir stuff for now,thanks for the replies!

99% of the people wont know 67 was the first year for dual master anyway.Like said ditch the single master.I know unless its a 100 point car they want you to change the master to dual anyway.Kind of like the 30s Fords.They allow the drivers to go hyd instead on mechanical.Rocky

I drove for decades with single line systems and never had a brake failure so I don`t have a big issue using them now and both my cars had `em before I sold them with no troubles. The `66 is a unique system with a the above mentioned one year only master and a special residual pressure valve in the line to the rears. This special master not only has much more capacity but it also has a bigger bore. Running with the small capacity of a drum master really would be dangerous. PM if interested.

Hey there are people with show cars who're running original or NOS tires! You can tell those cars never see above 10mph.
Yeah, but are they running "vintage" air? I heard the good judges can tell...

This gentleman is also planning on running a "630 HP Hemi" and I can tell you that I would NOT want ANY single line master cylinder being responsible for safely stopping that combo!
I also own a 1966 Coronet 500 big block car and it's only running a mildly modified 1969 440 and with the cars original stock single master cylinder and 10" power drum brakes, it was NOT easy getting the car slowed down on the drag strip by the first return road turn off, so I first converted the car to a 67 Coronet donor cars dual line set-up and when that wasn't enough, I then went to an aftermarket power disc brake conversion kit with 11" cross drilled and slotted rotors. When it comes to safety on a street and or strip car, being "factory correct" is REALLY low on my priority list......

Try stopping a 66 Polara with no brakes(single reservoir). Been there, very scary stuff.
