Looking for master cylinder suggestions on somewhat unique setup

Re OEM master cylinders, non-ABS can have ports for F & R on both sides, so you could plug the left side ports. As example, a 1999 Breeze/Sebring/Cirrus More Information for CARDONE 132731 ($35). But, bottom ports may fit your app better.

Until ~2000, U.S. cars mostly still used inverted-flare tube fittings. You can form later bubble-flares on 1/8" tubing using a dbl-flare tool (I have, see youtubes), but why fool with that? I used a Breeze ABS MC since only 2 ports (left side, so not for you). Why Breeze? I had grabbed an Intrepid booster w/ MC at the junkyard for my 65 Dart for its bolt pattern (slight rat-tail filing matched Dart brackets) but its slanted reservoir didn't work so swapped to a Breeze MC. Perhaps other MC's would work. As I stated, my 64 Valiant brake rod fit perfectly in the Breeze MC piston, though likely all 1990's MC's were for power brakes.

BTW, for those who want power brakes and a vacuum booster won't fit (headers), an alternative to hydro-boost (requires power steering) is the latest electric-boost MC's. I saw a youtube of a hobbyist displaying one from a Tesla. One son recently had a rental Honda CR-V so I peered under the hood. It appeared to also have an electric-boost brake MC, so likely many others do. Might need to wait a few years for more to crash so cheap at junkyards. For many years now, steering racks have had motorized assist built-in. I assume most/all are 12 VDC. Haven't seen a hobbyist use one, though might be easy if just 2 power wires to connect (no funky control box).

I think I saw the same video. A bit off topic, but electric power assist is pretty easy to add nowadays as well, just in the column instead of the rack. You can put an inline assist on the steering column and with a 12v feed you get power steering with no hydraulics or having to figure out how to mount a rack in an old car. You have to get the right units as some of them work in failsafe mode (without the controller they normally use) better than others. Typically they are used in conjunction with features like speed sensitive assist or maybe different modes like tour and sport, but most of them will default to full assist all the time if they don't have a computer signal. I debated it with my car when I watched some videos, but haven't really looked that far into it. I think you can get a junkyard Prius unit for around $100, so very tempting.

I've always balked at paying ridiculous prices for a name.
M/C is just a pump, no magic, a W/Cyl/servo just a way to change hydraulic to mechanical.
Give your head a shake .

I agree with this as well, they are all pretty much dirt simple until you get into the very modern ones that have the ABS built in (my wife's 2021 4Runner is wild looking comparatively speaking). It's just hard to find a catalog to look through with pictures of all the different styles unless it's from one company. I don't really care for the idea of spending $200 for a master cylinder when I can get one for $65, but I haven't really had much luck finding anything else that has ports on the bottom with just Google searches. I'm sure there is probably something else out there, but without digging through tons of catalogs for all different brands I'm at a bit of a loss.
