Tom, 
 
Thanks for the reply...I got it swapped out but had to change the pushrod from one master cylinder to the other but now I have absolutly no pedal at all.  Is this normal when a non power brake master cylinder is changer ?  I realize that I need to bleed the new master cylinder but shouldn't  I have at least some pedal ?

OK, that would suck :-)


On my 63's they just "come out". However, you have to pull! There's a spring
clip in the piston part that grips the pushrod.
