Dave,
Oops! You're right. I was picturing the remote servos on a C and thinking of
the integral servo on a late model B. That means that it _is_ the servos that
are bad and not necessarily the master cylinder. Well, my only excuse is that
it's been 20 years since I worked on a late model B and about 18 since I worked
on a C. I think I'm pretty much right about everything else. If not, be sure
to correct me because I'd sure hate to mislead anyone.
As I told Mike, I think the ultimate solution is to replace the C master
cylinder with a B master cylinder of the same vintage and remove the servos
altogether. I knew someone who was so cheap he put an early single-line master
cylinder on a C and T'd the lines together. The car stopped but with a lot of
effort.

Maybe I'll stick to what I really know.
