    Does anyone know for sure which reservoir goes to front or rear for a '79 master brake cylinder for manual brakes?

    Right now the reservoir toward the front is smaller and is going to the front brakes.

    This is a new installation...the one that came off was from the '74.

    The larger of the two is always front on a disc/drum MC.

    I haven't swapped the brakes yet...it's still drum on the front for now. I wonder if it matters then if it's all drum at this point.
