[FC] Dual Circuit Master Cylinder Disaster

[Steve Turner]

Hello;  Being a newbie and am going to ask a question that in all likilhood 
has been answered several times before and so I apologize in advance!  I am 
looking to replace my single with double master cylinder set ups on both the 
66 convert and 61 Rampside.  From what you said about the Chevelle master 
cylinder unit, can I assume that I can go to NAPA and purchase one of those 
rather than order one from a Corvair vendor?  Thanks in advance for the 
answer.  Steve
