Wow, quite the celebration. A quarter million people over 3 days. Hundreds of thousands of tulips a lot of food and history.
Damn do I hurt but not complaining (much)12,000 steps on the step tracker and a lot of standing (which I can't stand much of now days. Had a great time with the family and finished up by eating supper at Zombie Burgers. I'll post some pics soon.
Remember to tip-toe when you go through the tulips...

Is Cheryl Dutch? She sure could be. Lots of pretty gals there that look like they could be Cheryl's cousins.Wow a couple years ago Cheryl and her mom took a cruise to the Netherlands to see the tulips.
Could I guess they could of went to Iowa and saved me a few $$?
They have those signs on the freeways here where they can post messages...
The other day one message said, "Drive high, get a DUI"... Then flashed "LSD 6 minutes'' for the next message right after it....

That's a disk brake master cylinder - cant tell which casting from the photo but they can be very hard to find. Prices of the correct ones for fixed caliper (4 piston) A-body aer quite high. I bit the bullet a few years ago and finally got one.
All glycol based brake fluids absorb moisture. This prevents any bubbles of water from forming, and up to a point, prevents rust from forming.
I bleed the brakes on both vehicles every Spring or so...
With increase moisture absorbtion, the max temperature a brake fluid can handle decreases. Most of us don't get the brakes that hot so normally wouldn't notice. Dave Mapes is just one person I know that found out that old brake fluid and road racing are a bad mix. He had soft brakes as the race progressed.
Silicon based brake fluid does not absorb moisture. If moisture gets in its going to find the lowest location in the system and settle there. It's also slightly more compressible, or can be. For most purposes it is quite good and a side bonus is that any spilled won't harm paint. The US Army tested it a number of years ago (reports can be found on the interweb) and now use it for most vehicles.
But have you noticed that there is no difference in volume whether 3 days or 3 weeks?
Do not know if correct, Matt, but this is what I found for my 66 with KH brakes.

Thanks! Is it bootlegging if I haul a truck load back
This is the one that came with the conversion kit..
Disc up front... drums in the rear.
Her family is from Sweden. She still has family living there. Showed her and her mom your pics. They talking about going next year.

I’m not sure but that may be a Gm style one. Lots of conversion kits use GM style disc masters
I don't like to tell people what to do, especially when a manufacturer is supplying a system.
What I can say is that most factory disk brake systems have a larger resevoir for the caliper pistons. Unlike a drum brake's wheel cylinder, as the pad linings wear the caliper pistons use signifcantly more fluid to backfill the space.
I used a converted drum brake master for a at least a decade with no issues. Just explaining why the factroy added a larger resevoir. Up until '67, Chrysler stacked additional resevoir capacity on top of the standard master.
My point was not to toss the master cylinder you have. Even if it needs bore sleeve it may be worth something.
"Mastershake" on Moparts wrote an article on correct master cylinder castings and part numbers, back when he worked for big brake company. He's made some updates and corrections since it originally came out but still a good starting point. I *think* the pdf version has the corrections.

The Poffertjes were fun. We didn't get any Dutch Letters though. Long lines and a hour wait in line. Friends say going to Pella any other time and you can just walk in and buy. I had a Blogonia in a stick that was delicious. We also had a Dutch Delight with almond bars, whip cream, and strawberries. Should have taken a picture.
