Hey JC,
I don't have an issue with Rock auto, I used them a couple of times but the shipping added up. Basically I get the same stuff through Advance(I use them alot for this kind of stuff I take advantage of the promo codes and free shipping) ,autozone plus some non chain local spots. Raybestos is a good name.
As far as a master The one you need would be the same one that would go on a 67 Mustang with 4 wheel drum brakes. I haven't bought one in a while but I bought a few from autozone for like $15 a piece with lifetime warranty( I think they are only 1 year now) . As far as the Cj line kits, I've never used one,I buy 3/16" brake line in bulk, so I usually make those lines myself,but I have the flaring tool,etc.If the kit is ceap it's probably worth it for you. It is possible for you to buy some shorter lengths of line with the fittings already flared on as long as you are careful not to kink them when shaping. For the rest of the conversion,You will need a 3/16" union, and a 3/16" plug. Most importantly you will need to use your current 65-66 pushrod with the 67 master cylinder to maintain a good pedal height. Good luck.

Hi again.
Got my drum brakes fixed. It's working good now. But I think the engine is idling fast. When I'm at a light I have to press hard on the brakes to keep the car from moving forward. It wants to roll forward like when a dog is pulling on the leash... Kind of the dog walking the owner instead of owner walking the dog. Is that normal? Can I adjust the idle down a little? This is when the engine is fully warmed up.
Thanks for the help.

A quick reminder: Hagerty Collector Car Insurance can insure your Mustang when it's under active work inside your garage for a great rate! When you're ready to take it for a test ride we increase your coverage by adding Liability with same day service.
I admire your enthusiasm on the project! Yesterday I stopped by a buds business in Ballston Spa, NY and his wife had purchased a 1960's vehicle for his last winter; he's now rebuilt the carb and started it with the 15-20 year old plugs & wires and ran a gas can above the engine to avoid "old gas issues of corrosion particles".
Check us out:

Good luck wrenching,
