I have a 71 Duster with manual brakes that has been converted to front disc brakes from a 73 Duster. I am in the process of replacing the master cylinder and noticed on the old one the pedal pushrod is connected to the master, but on the new one it is not. I ordered a master for a 73 Duster with manual front disc rear drum brakes through rock auto. Any ideas thanks.

The pushrod is held in the master cylinder with a rubber retainer. The retainer looks like a short piece of vacuum hose with a groove in the side. DO NOT install the pushrod without one. I've had to chuck the pushrod up in a vise and whack the master with a BFH to get them out. The pushrod and retainer install very easily into the new master. You can usually feel the pushrod seat when you get some resistance built up while bleeding.
