Not sure why I never thought about a corvette master cylinder. I did a little research on them, found that 65-up corvettes came with 4 wheel disc brakes. 65 & 66 still had single bail MC's while 67-up came with dual bail. 67-76 used the same P/N MC, and 77-82 used a different P/N MC. I'm not sure what the difference is between the 67-76 & the 77-82 because they are the same physical size and have the same specs, but it sounds like either one of them would work for me. As for the aftermarket MC's such as Wilwood or SSBC I don't really see any advantage to those over a stock one.
