Brake Safety Upgrade - Swap The "Pump And Pray" For A Dual Master Cylinder (A 1965 Barracuda Update)

If you've got a classic Mopar from 1966 or earlier, then you're likely familiar with the single pot master cylinder colloquially known as the "pump and pray." Because this brake system lacks any redundancy, in the event of a hydraulic failure at any of the four wheels, you're going to lose your brakes - and that's never a good time. Converting these early cars to the 1967 and newer dual master cylinder is by no means a new idea, and today, we're installing one in Dave's 1965 Plymouth Barracuda. Over the years, I've done this same job on a 1966 Dodge Charger, a 1966 Dodge Coronet, a 1961 Studebaker Hawk, and several other vehicles. As with many modifications I cover, this applies to countless other classic cars - but my knowledge of the particulars centers around Chrysler stuff.
