What happens if I just replace current single-reservoir disc brake Master Cylinder with aluminium dual MC (it is from Baer kit, a friend did not use it in his late model) into existing brake lines without doing anything else. Except that new MC has two outlets as the current single-reservoir MC but on the right side. I am sure some brake shop can do the brake lines. I don’t have the tools. The bigger reservoir is for the front discs, isn't it?

1) I have 65 with disc brakes and single reservoir disc brake MC and rear dums. It has a distribution block for front brakes and a proportioning valve in the rear brake line. Would this be enough or is it mandatory to install a adjustable prop.valve?

2) How deep should the MC piston go when it is dry? I was trying measure the needed pushrod length. It seems that current pushrod for single-reservoir MC doesn’t move as much as the the piston in new MC would go. Do I need a new pushrod?

3) Also the new MC has piston diameter of 1 1/8 inch and I think that original has 1 inch. I am not planning to install brake booster. My legs aren’t the weakest, but is this setup too much.

Now, that's what I call an answer. It might take a weekend to figure it out, but I promise, I'll try. Thanks.

About the adjustability. Which way the adjuster turns? If I turn clockwise does it increase rear brake pressure. I think there was only something like "adjusting should not be tried" or some other threat in the Shop Manual. But when you say it is adjustable, it makes sense that I remember seeing threads in that proportioning valve.
