Going to rear disc brakes; what master cylinder is needed?

[onepyramid]

Currently, I have disc front and drum rear, no power booster, with a early '70s Maverick master cylinder.

If I do the rear brake conversion, does this master cylinder need to be changed? If so, to what type/style/year?

Thanks.

I have stainless steel disk brakes front and rear. It has a pro portioning valve , a 67 style dual mater cyl and a neat looking stainless thing under it?

Something like this or this, maybe. Not sure how you 'grown' down a tip but you might try grounding it down.

1" bore from different vendor.

I would think your Maverick Master is a MC 36440.

This has ZERO Residuals for the rear brakes. You will need at least a 2 Pound Residual in the rear brake line.

The master, it will work just fine.

here is a post on some master cylinder FAQ. Fast forward to the 1:30 mark in the video for the part about dual vs single master cylinders.
