Bob

Dan is correct, Any premade brake set from a 63.5 thru 66 will work on disc
brakes w/ the dual master (not tandem masters)
The drum brake cars did have a 7/8 bore master, this was cut down to 3/4" when
discs came on the cars. It stayed 3/4 bore thru the end but the laters being a
dual piston master.
And the later 68 on master will work (complete pedal box assembly) with some
minor cutting. It's very close to the wiper motor and some wiper rack bends
are needed.
