Converting my 65 C body from Single to Dual Pot master cylinder

[Cianmini1]

Hi guys,
I have looked at previous threads but just want to clarify.
I’m looking to change from single to dual pot master on my 4 wheel drums, it’s for safety reasons but the car doesn’t do much driving to warrant discs or any expensive Upgrade
Exactly what do I need to change over my 65 newport from single to dual pot master cylinder.
I will get a new dual pot master cylinder for a 67+ c body,
Do I need to change my distribution block aswell for a 67+ c body?
Do I need to change my brake lines?
If so can I buy them pre done or am I best to cut and flare myself?
Also where do people suggest getting the parts or can I buy a kit as I’m
Based in Dublin ireland

Thanks
Kind regards
Cian

Easy, to do yourself, with just a new master cylinder and some brake line. On your stock distribution block remove the rear brake line and plug that with a flare plug fitting. On your new master cylinder take the line that would feed the rear brake and either use a union or make a new line to connect to your rear brake line. I used a 67 Newport master cylinder if I remember right. I just flared my old brake line and with a fitting and union to connect to the new rear brake line from the master cylinder. This is on my 64 880. Has been on my 64 for 10+ years with no problems.

That will tell you the least expensive and best conversion for your Euro! I'm still using the stuff too.

I bought their conversion kit for my ‘65 fury III. The distribution block they sent has the mounting bracket setup wrong for my use. When you buy this kit take a close look and make sure that when you mount the distribution block the two ports for the front brakes will be pointing toward the front of the car. Other than that this should be a pretty easy swap. Below are two photos of the new block, the second photo is the original block in the car.

I bought this kit for my 66 Chevrolet. I haven't done the conversion yet, but it looks to work as intended. You should reach out to them so they can correct this issue.
