Hi all, I'm going to update my '63 Belvedere's master cylinder from single reservoir to dual reservoir. It has drums at all 4 corners. I have a few questions; Is this the correct master cylinder? And, it's a direct bolt-in?

Thank you,
 
Yes that would be the correct master cylinder.
But I can't comment on a 1963 with certainty.
I think one of these would work with it as well:

Once you have the old one off and the new double bowl put each one in the vise and check the length of piston travel on each.
You will be bench bleeding anyway so its a easy check.
 
The original brass block has 1 inlet for the master, 2 outlets for the front, 1 outlet for the rear.

I ran 1 line from the master to the block for the front, and put a plug in the outlet to the rear.

The other line from the master to a straight coupling attached to the existing rear line.

All in, 1 dual master, 1 brass plug, 1 brass coupler.
 
Thank you. And the '67 dual reservoir master is the correct one?
