    I'm going to replace master cylinder. Any suggestions on what brand to use. They seem to range from $23 to $105. Thanks.

    Are you looking for an original look? If not, some of us have converted to a Corvette MC or Ford Bronco. Search Master.

    Use this search on Google - master cylinder Ecj5

    What's wrong with yours? Maybe you have a different issue?

    I used the dual MC direct replacement from Crown - has worked great for 5+ years.

    I doubt the $23 ones are going to be the correct replacement. Most of the ones I found were around the $100 mark and made by Crown. I am not sure any other manufacturers are making the same/correct one? FWIW, the Crown one seems to be of good quality. This is the style you will need for a 1968 (with the V6 at least)...

    I used the one in Tim's link. I had to re-work the mounting because it was single cylinder. I believe yours should have come with dual?

    The one linked above is a dual master cylinder, it looks like the one on my '70.

    From the factory, front bowl to front brakes.

    If disk brake conversion in the front, the bowls are typically switched.
