My '73 Challenger came with power front disc brakes/rear drums and I want to know if I can use the master cylinder on a 1970 Superbird that wants to convert to power disc brakes. My master cylinder is part number 3461 176, stamp number 3461187, and it has a 1-1/32" bore size. I think the '70 B-Body disc brake master cylinder is a 1-1/8" bore size if it had come from the factory with front disc brakes. I don't really know whether the 1-1/8" bore size is for manual disc or power disc on the '70 B-Body or if it's the same. And I don't know whether that size would even matter in the case that the power disc brake conversion consisted of late E-body parts. Would it then require 1-1/32" bore size? Please help. Thanks!

It's more so the larger bore is for the Front disc brakes. The disc brakes require more fluid. The residual valves in the master cylinder from drum and disc retain a different pressure. Top is 71 bottom I think is from a 73. Both disc drum.

If the ‘70 Superbird uses a booster from a ‘73 Challenger with my master cylinder, does that solve any problems with bore size?
