    No such thing as an E Body manual disc brake master cylinder.  1975 A Body will work.

    make sure the master you use has the groove in the rear piston for the O ring that retains the pushrod

    I have one on mine. A Cardone Manual disc brake master cylinder I bought from Autozone. Had to order it and got it the next day. It fit right on where the drum brake cylinder was and the lines fit.

    I have the manual disc setup in my '74 and it's stock.  Alot of the later cars came with manual disc but no Barracudas came with front drums after '71.

    Manual discs have a ton more pedal control then the power discs IMO. You have to push the pedal harder but you get used to it in 10 minutes and I never liked the squishy power brake pedal anyway.

    no just make sure the master has the ability to retain the pushrod properly so it doesn`t fall otu if you lift the pedal

    Cardone uses factory cores for their rebuilds so it should have the retention O-ring in the piston.

    I frequently do machine work for them making aluminum pistons and brass and steel fittings and they are the pickiest customer we have. They have a very good QC department.  :2thumbs:

    I'd rather give my money to companies that pay me and other American machine shops for American quality. :2thumbs:
