Larry, if you have your single-pot M/C's be overhauled and bushed,
they will not leak or fail, as they might if/when they get aged.
However, if you want to go to the expense (any 'used' dual-pot M/C
should be overhauled & re-bushed, too, at a cost of around $150.00-
$200.00), if your car(s) has power brakes, the only-best dualie M/C
which will fit underneath the booster is what I call the (mid-60's) "Low-
Boy", or, the "Butterfly Closure" unit, because it is both very low
profile (the resevoirs hold very little fluid in them) and it has a
centrally-
bolted, single, swing-around steel closure strap on it.
If you have manual brakes, the "sky" is the limit on the height of the
M/C that you select; some are very tall-fellows.
The "Low-Boy" is a bolt-in affair, and you do NOT need to try to plumb
in its (fake-) "apportioning valve"---that 'valve is only there to service a
brake-fluid warning light on the 60's cars)...but you WILL need to plumb-in
your car's brake light switch to the "Low-Boy", as it has no provisions for
that device on it, and, the front brake lines will be needed to be a
different
diameter from the rear brake line's diameter.
This-all can be done, but, the easiest protocol is just to O/H a
single-pot
M/C, to prevent any leakages from occurring in/from it.

What dual master cylinder(s) will replace a single brake system on a 64
Fury or Barracuda, or 57-59 Coronets? Seem to remember something about 74 or
so Dodge trucks. Safety plus-up would be nice. Once had a single system
go out on a 62 Lancer and it was exciting.
