65 GT350 Master Cylinder

Thanks Jeff
Guess I assumed the internal brass insert with small hole was a sort of metering device.

Hi Martin,
The Master Brake Cylinder that was on my car #275 when I bought it in Feb. 1988 is dated 113 and it had the brass adapters.
In 1991 when I lived in Evergreen, CO. I found two NOS at a Ford place in Denver. $90 each and stupid enough I only bought
one of them. Part number was for Thunderbird (S) and it has the adapters. It's on the car now and is dated 158.
Part number on both is 2225032.

I checked Julian Calendar on line and 113 as on my MC on #275 means April 23 which fits my car as it was produced at San Jose in the beginning of May 1965. The 342 on your car Martin means December.

Not withstanding the date code being Dec 65, appears the inner brass component could be replaced along with correct brass adapters would make it identical to an early 65 unit?
Assume without the adapters, the hard lines with flair on end would mate to the internal brass fitting?
Seems difference between 65 and early 66 is the presence of the adapter.

Early 66's also used adapter.

Gonna have to take look at master cylinder that's on the car and try to see what date code it is. One of them is original to the car.
