I recently installed a disc brake kit on my 1958 Apache Stepside. Now I would 
like to upgrade the master cylinder. The  PO installed a SBC motor with a 350 
transmission. It has dual exhaust coming straight back.  I originally thought 
to install a  new booster and master  kit but I am having second thoughts. 
The booster takes up a lot of space and I am concerned about its proximity to 
 the exhaust pipe. Now I am thinking about  a  dual master cylinder with  no 
booster. Will this provide enough braking power ? ( especially since  this 
will be my wife's toy )  Also ,  if I went with a booster,  is a single or 
dual diaphragm more drivable

                                                   Thanks
