Just put in a dual master cylinder in my 1955 Ford Victoria. It says I should the same push rod. When I pulled it out of the old m/c I noticed the end of it was threaded. Is this ok to use on the new m/c. Thanks.

Not sure what this has to do with Y-Block engines, but I'll try to help.  I don't think the rod is threaded, but rather has a series of ridges that at one time held a plastic tip on the rod.  Without the tip, there may be too much free travel in the brake pedal.  Maybe there is enough adjustment left to take up the extra play.  You can use the rod without the tip if you can adjust the free travel.

Thanks for the info.

The tips are available.  I know CASCO has them (part # 2142, I assume the other suppliers have them.

It would help a lot when some one makes a post like this that they would provide info  like part number, application or other info to help the person

I'm betting this one would work, if a Mustang one does.  It's cheap enough if it doesn't.  

You mean to tell me a QUALITY VENDOR such as WILDWOOD offers a DUAL RSVR MC CONV and no suitable push-rod?

Did you buy directly from WILDWOOD or a seller?

That 2142 spacer has an important function(s) if using the OEM push-rod.

I have no idea why you feel that either I singled you out or referred to your post.

If I offended you in any way for any reason, I sincerely apologize.

As for paul2748's post, he is 110% correct. Miss Cleo retired some years ago and if one wants help, it is nice to know what they are working on.
