John -

To build upon what Keith said, if you must go with a dual-chambered M/C, stick with a GM part (or equivalent). Not only should parts be in good supply for a Chevelle, but I saw MANY failures with master cylinders in Chrysler product, and to a lesser degree, Ford of the 60's and early '70s, while GM vehicles just kept going and going. I've put well over 100K on a GM car, without having ever flushed and refill the brake fluid (unless I had to change a caliper) and never replaced the master cylinder.

Who's to say that whatever kustom supplier that's around today will be here a year or two from now?
