I can not find a manual disc brake master cylinder. I just converted my 73 from drums to discs in the front so I need to get a new MC. I have had no issue finding ones with big boosters but nothing for manuals.
If that is the case, then don't buy it. I thought the cover may just be symmetrical over 2 different sized reservoirs but get the actual big/little reservoir model. My oversight on believing their applications.It says that but is actually not a good replacement - esp for '73
That's the drum brake master they remove the valve from the rear outlet and call it good enough.

^^This. Looks clean, no rust outside and inside, reservoir seals, and easier to fill. Add bonus is Cass is awesome!!!

I wish we could train people to look at Doctor Diffs website before they ask questions. Doctor Diff has the parts that solve more than 50% of the questions on this forum.
That's actually a great starting point.The brakes actually came off a 1980 Aspen so maybe I’ll check some of those out. I just didn’t know if it would bolt to the firewall or if there would be issues with the rod.

See if you can then verify the '80 Aspen MC has the same mounting pattern as your car.
Also some years/models the studs are in the MC, others in the firewall, even though the pattern is the same. They can be pressed out of the MC so don't let that be deciding factor if everything else is the same.
Check the outlet sizes.
A little bit more difficult, but you may be able to verify is the stroke and pushrod. It's probably the same but if you can check it, its one less thing to have as question.
