Why not convert to a dual circuit master cylinder? Get a used one from Joel or Mike, then send it to Jim Adney to be rebuilt.
I've gone to the dual circuit master cylinder swap on every single circuit system car I own, or have owned. It's a very good upgrade, especially if you're going to have kids ride in the car, or plan on going thru a busy city (like Gary or Chicago), as you'll need good brakes.

I disagree on one point: If you're driving through Gary, Indiana-the accelerator pedal is far more important than brakes. It's not a nice place to hang out. |

| Funny, I can't disagree with that. She likely won't make the journey to Gary anytime soon!! |
