I've decided that my swap to a dual master cylinder will need to wait until other stuff gets done.

I didn't know you could use Hershey's chocolate syrup for brake fluid. You learn something everyday.

Wheel cylinders are cheap.....
Check your break lines too. 30 years ago, I went to pick up my '66 from my Dad's house up in the Appalachian mountains. I rebuilt the brakes, and when I was bleeding them, I heard a pffffffffsssssss right under the door. The brake line was rusted through, and all of the backwoods parts stores looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for a brake line. I had to go back a year later and tow it home. I was not happy.

I'm not gonna cut corners. EVERYTHING that doesn't look good will be replaced. I've already replaced the rear wheel cylinders. I'll post more pics as I go.
Come back often and check my progress.
