All right....I am hoping someone has come across any info I need...swapped all brakes to a 4 wheel disc...and would like to know what year of a master cylinder I will need to finish this conversion...with the lines going on the drivers side of the master cylinder..maybe someone has done this conversion and could tell me what fits...
Thanks for any info

Did you you look at Willwood? I guess it would depend on what you want it to look like. If you want a more period looking installation, remembering that no car of that era came with 4 wheel disc brakes, then maybe look for a MC from a 69 - 70 application with front discs. You could probably use any MC from the 90's on, that would bolt to the firewall, or an aftermarket unit. Possibly the most critical factor would be the bore size to get the proper actuation and feel at the pedal. Sorry, not the direct answer you may have been looking for, but I have not done a four wheel disc conversion myself.

+1 to the above reply. You must be going racing and/or some serious downhill driving anyway.
The actual mounting of MCs of most domestics of the 60s to early 70s are pretty standard. Bore size as mentioned above is critical plus you'll need an adjustable push rod.
And an adjustable pushrod is almost a certainty. I've never actually looked at the Wilwood site, but one good thing is they have detailed content including the measurements for the mounting etc., plus some bits about proportioning valves and the like.
MPbrakes.com lists a couple of products and also offer rear discs as well (so they should be able to tell you how to plumb the MC), although they couldn't be bothered to picture a '64 Ford on their page for that vintage...
