Pressure VS Volume... Drum brakes require more Volume. Call Wilwood for 
their recommendation. They will ask about your pedal ratio so have the 
number available.

I understand hydraulics, but I don't know which master cylinder would be better for my application.  It's a 1977 Firebird with manual brakes for LSR only.   Drums rear and discs front. It appears that the .850 would give me more brake for the amount of foot pressure, but why is the .750 even offered?  Any suggestions?
