What master cylinder should I get?

[san408 10]

I have stock type front disc/rear drum manual brakes.  I'm not interested in moving to power brakes.  What master cylinder should I be looking for? 

I was looking at one from a Ford Ranger because it had an aluminum body, but it's turned out to be hard to find.

What year ford ranger?  Cause there tons of them at the local pull-a-part yards.

the one a buddy sourced is a from an '84.  I really want to put a new part on. I'm assuming that since the car has disks on the front, it should have to larger reservoir at the back.  The one currently on the car has the same size reservoir front and rear.

My best guess is I have a Dorman aluminum master cylinder for a ~1993 Ranger with a flat plastic tank for a 2001 Mustang V6.

Some options from CJPP. They have more also.

I'm sure NPD and other mustang parts vendors have the same. I'm sure autozone, advanced auto etc. have replacements  but might have to order.

I just bought this a few months ago.  Aluminum body, 15/16" bore with SAE ports.  I had to buy 2 adapters from the auto parts store to connect to my brake lines.
