    The T I bought has drum rears (7.5 axle) and disk fronts ( GM single piston from Speedway). The master cylinder is a single reservoir with a tee dividing the fluid to front and rear. The car stops, BUT, could be a LOT better. Am I right in thinking the M/C needs to be a double reservoir?

    The dual master was produced as a safety feature , whether or not it would improve your brakes or not depends on bore size and cylinder condition. The dual reservoir doesn't effect the hydraulics performance per se .

    Kinda jumped the gun asking the question. Read further on this forum and found the answers. Asked and answered several times. Thinking I need a Mustang unit...so... is it a small unit? I have space problems.
