Yep, that's where I bought mine, Cass is a great guy to deal with.

15/16” will give you a long pedal travel with a slightly spongy pedal feel. I have one in my Barracuda now and I’m switching it out to 1 1/16”

Make sure you give your self extra stopping room with the bigger piston
Your left leg will get a work out also stopping with the bigger cylinder, at least mine did going from a 15/16 to 1 1/8 not knowing the new rebuilt one had a bigger bore in it, NOT GOOD on a race car at the Winternationals going 142.+ MPH

Most factory powerbraked disc/drum cars have a 15/16" MC.

Just depends what is on the other end. I use a 15/16 mc on my Coronet with 4 wheel disc brakes and the pedal is high and hard. The car stops great. The important factor is the ratio of the piston sizes in the MC and calipers. That ratio has to be correct for the brake system to work properly. It isn't a random guessing thing, it is just math.

My Dart has Wilwood rears and Strange front brakes. When the factory non power, drum brake MC went bad I installed either a 1 1/16 or a 1 1/8" bore MC on the car. The first time I drove it when I got to the end of my driveway I had both feet on the brake pedal and both hands on the wheel to stop it. That afternoon I ordered a 15/16" bore MC from Cass. I would like to try a 7/8" bore on it as the car has never stopped as well as I'd like it to since I removed the factory iron MC.

I went with 15/16" from Cass on the RR with viper front calipers w/ 11 3/4" discs and Cass' 10.7" rear disc kit. This is a manual disc setup.

….well it is the race section. I had similar results as Troy with the 15/16 BUT being in a bracket car I didn’t want overly sensitive brake, especially stabbing them at the stripe. I have Wilwood fronts and strange rears for brakes.

Manual brake cars usually have a different brake pedal-ratio vs the power brake cars. That's why similar sized MCs are sometimes used.
