My dilemma: I just upgraded the car from 10.7 slider front disc to 11.75 pin calipers. The sliders are 2.6" pistons, and the pin calipers are a larger 2.75".

I can already tell the pedal feels spongy, and I knew the master cylinder might require replacement, but how do know what I have?

My car was originally a power brake car, but somewhere along the line it was converted to manual brakes, but I don't know what master cylinder was used in the conversion.

I haven't taken it off the firewall yet, but as yet I don't see a casting number. Where is it typically located?
 
well first is was your car originally a drum brake car? that wil have a completely different master...

but if it was a disc drum master then you just might need to use a prop block to get it to feed more to the front
