I know this isn't what you asked about, but you said that you have 4 wheel drum brakes. The master cylinder on your car is for disc brakes. The visible difference is that the lid should be bolted on.

That is a drum master on his car. Equal size wells front and back, just different lid fastening.

Looks like a drum brake MC to me, just a different style.

Rebuild the booster that you have.

Rebuild the booster that you have.

That's what I'm planning to do at this point I believe classic industries has the kit I need for my booster. Thanks for the reply.

my booster is bad also been for a while. going to put a spare on i have but it has been 30 years since it has last been on a car. so it is probably bad also i do not remember. but i was reading about the master cylinder. i put a reman and it has years ago it has the clip on lid so i looked at it tonight and the rear chamber is deffinatly larger than the front so i guess i got the wrong one on there. by leaving it on what problems would would this cause if any?

When I bought my car it had a disc master on a drum car. The front brakes were EXTREMELY sensitive. To the degree that it hid the fact that the booster was bad.
