I was wondering if the master cylinders for non power brake cars are the same for power brake cars for a 1970 b body?
 
If I recall the bore is different diameter. Smaller for manual, creating more line pressure. Some say for manual brakes the MC, should have bore of less than 1"
 
Sometimes power master cylinder's don't have splines in the mounting holes to hold the studs needed for a manual install.
 
No activation rod coming out of the power brake master cylinder and no bolts to attach it to the body. On power brakes the activation rod and mounting bolts are in the booster. For manual brakes it in the cylinder.
