Yes.  I'm running stock calipers.   The MC kit installed on my cat is at
least 10 years old, and though bought and installed with the best
intentions, seems mismatched.

My brother just told me my master is a 1-1/8" Taurus SHO master.  Yiikes!
But that would give me an excuse to go Wilwood I suppose ;)

I've got a vacuum pump off of a 1990 Ford Tempo diesel (who knew?) that I've
been meaning to install.  So many projects.  I can't even back my cat out of
the garage there's so many cars in the way now.
