Was there any modification needed at all? It bolted right up?

No mods.You will have to make 1 line for the rear brakes and cap the fitting that went to the rear brakes
as the distribution block from the single master will now only be needed for the front brakes.

I figured I had to make the new line but I am glad to hear the master cylinder bolts right up. The 1967 master is also cheaper than the single from 1963.
The distribution block Fran showed is a better choice.
If you plumb the lines directly front and back and lose the front pressure you only have back brakes which lock right up at highway speeds and hardly slow you at all.

Hi Darter6. I'm just installing the new master cylinder on my 63 Savoy but I'm having a problem with the fittings. Did you need 1/4 inch line for one and 3/16's for the other? Or did you use adapters of some sort? This thing is giving me a headache lol.
Any suggestions and pics would be fantastic. Thank you, Wally

In my photo you will see that all that was used was 3/16'' lines.
I do believe some masters have different size ports (maybe for different applications) and adapters are use.
Chrysler used 3/16'' for dual masters and yes the single pot master did have 1/4'' main line to distribution block.
Not sure what year Chrysler went to different size fittings on the dual master front and rear but retained 3/16'' line.
I'm going thru my files for photos that may have adapter at the master but so far haven't found anything.
I would think your auto part store should have line adapters.

Ok. Thank you for that info. It would seem that our local NAPA and Bumper to Bumper don't restock their fittings very often. Guess I'll be going on a road trip lol. The joys of restoring a classic eh?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Cheaper to buy on ebay if you drive 10 miles each way. Wear and tear insurance etc.. Take the master with you. Ask me why.
Then find it's not right.

I understand completely!! I was just dreading removing the Master again. Not too difficult, just don't want to go through the back pain again lol. Wish I hadn't installed it without getting the fittings first. I've already made multiple trips to town. (Sigh) Oh well, once it's done it's done. Then to the next problem haha!Cheaper to buy on ebay if you drive 10 miles each way. Wear and tear insurance etc.. Take the master with you. Ask me why.
Thanks for the feedback
