Hmmm. Last time I looked at a late model Aluminum master cylinder
it looked just like a 60s master cylinder....just a lighter shade of grey.

The picture above the cheesy caption shows a master cylinder
with a light gray tube and a white plastic reservoir (b&w pic).
Outlet ports are on the right hand side (toward engine). All my
60s master cylinders have outlet ports on the opposite side.

I was almost embarrassed to type the caption in.

That describes a Cobra style master cylinder, where I was referring to the
neo-Classic 84-86 "late Model" MC that looks just like a 67-whatever
dual MC. That's what is in my 86 GT, and SVO's That is what prompted
my response. Outlet port location aside.....

If they fit then they should work fine.
