      Ok, it looks like 76-80 Monza's had 7/8" bore masters (Part # M1741 at autozone). It looks like they are shallow pocket on the piston. Is that what works best, or do I need to find one that has a deeper pocket? Going from vacuum booster, I have no idea.

      Use a master with the deeper pocket (and corresponding longer pushrod) so it doesn't fall out while driving. I am using a 1" 67-76 Corvette master cylinder with C5/LS1 brakes. It stops very well, but takes a bit of effort, but the HP+ pads help (more aggressive pads help). It works well enough while autocrossing, daily driving is no problem. A 7/8 or 15/16" master should stop a bit better with less effort but slightly more pedal travel.
