First Dual Chamber Master Cylinder Reservoir

[Stumper]

Was the two chamber brake reservoir used on a 62’ FURY with PBs? When did the first show up and on what cars?

 

[MIKESPOLARA]

Federal mandate in 1967. There were a few cars that used before mandate. Some Cadillacs and a few Corvettes with power but I don't think Mopar did any before 67

I know that about every original 62 brake reservoir I’ve ever seen was the single chamber but most of those cars were Savoys or Belvederes. Was wondering if it might have been an option on the Fury?

Nothing I’ve ever seen, nor in the parts books. ‘67 is the first.

According to TheRamMan yep used from 62 and up.
I saw the dual on a buds 66 coronet with bendix booster disc brake car.

It was altered then. ‘66 discs still had a single master cylinder. They were all singles before ‘66.

Some '63 Studebaker sedans had the dual MC.

Correct Mopar did not use a dual until 1967 when it became law

Could have been altered.. looked fairly original,, but never looked to hard at the brake lines etc..
Oddly enough this is in the 66 parts catalogue

So I guess consensus is definitely not in 1962? Let me add a twist to the question - could the dual reservoir have come on a 62’ Fury if the car was made in Canada?

What catalog is that? Certainly not the standard 1966. I have it here and no signs of that. The spelling of catalogue tells me it’s something different.

Ha! Never thought of that. Yes it's likely a chrysler canada book.. (in canada) I'll check tomorrow

No Mopar came with a dual master cylinder until 1967 In Canada or USA

Oh interesting. I guess that answers it. Canada went first.
