I took the brake booster and master cylinder off of my 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 and I’m looking to buy a brand new booster and master cylinder. After some research I found that my booster is a 1971 bendix booster and I can’t find a new oem replacement for it. I’d prefer to keep the single reservoir with the single brake line so I don’t have to replace my brake lines. Car has drums all around. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should buy? Do universal boosters work with the factory style master cylinder? I would prefer to not make any modifications to the car. I’m open to buying a new 1966 style booster replacement. Any help is appreciated.

This is THE perfect time to get rid of the crappy deathpot master cylinder.
PST is a sponsor of this site and has just what you need. The brake line changes you'll need to make are a great idea anyway. Look at the condition of your old master cylinder. Your brake lines may look just as bad inside. Inline tube and other vendors can get you what you need. Lines for a 1968-70 model will be the correct length.
 
Thanks Kern Dog...
I am researching this currently
No luck with the Ram Man
see my thread inquiring about him in brakes forum
So, I think I am going with the Classic Industries Bendix style for my 70 Superbee
 
Has anyone done a front brake disc conv. on a '65 Satty if so what kit is being used
I have not
A 70 B-body, YES
And I did this back in 2004ish, bought the GM style unit from Master Power brake (?) or something like that
see pics...
Totally Hate it, yes, works properly but GM Ugly....

I totally agree, actually ANYTIME is the perfect time to get rid of that single reservoir/single line set up. Even brand new, that set up is a ticking time bomb. It's a good thing that thing died before it had a chance to kill you or someone else. I lost brakes in a '57 Plymouth not too many years ago and that was a bit scary. Saved the car and got it stopped safely. I also had a similar situation while driving a friend's '64 Impala SS 4spd convertible a few years back. That one was way more frightening. I never want to go through that again.
Please upgrade to a dual reservoir system. I can not stress that enough! Best of luck to you!

I did my 64 Fury. Same basic car. Used the 10.95 kit from Doctor Diff so could keep my 14" wheels. But dont buy the brake lines there. Inline Tube sells a distribution block to split the fonts and backs that bolts perfectly in place of the original. And their lines from the MC to that block work and fit much better.

There you go. Plug & play, with a recipe and ingredients. It doesn't get any better than that!
 
Looking at the condition of the MC and booster, you should seriously consider replacing anything and everything that is any part of the braking system,
