Hi,
I brought a chrome master cylinder for my 68 Camaro to swap for my old rusty master cylinder. The old one has 1 1/8 bore and the new one has 1in bore.

How do I find out if it has residual valve built in?

Will the change in bore affect the brakes?

The Camaro has wilwood front disk brakes and Stainless Steel rear disk brakes. I have done away with all the old brake proposioning valve and have an adjustable proportional valve on the rear brakes.

From what I have read disk/disk should use 1 1/8 MC would the brakes be sharper if I use the 1in MC?

Smaller bore, the pedal will travel further. pressures would be greater with a smaller bore.
