They did my proportioning valve for my '66 last winter.
I went with White Post since I have plenty of time and the number of references I received. Thanks
Not sure if this is still a thing, but some 65-66 master cylinders I had sleeved/rebuilt over the past few years have a slightly deeper cavity in the master cylinder piston where the push rod goes in. It causes the pedal to sit a bit lower than the clutch pedal and reduces effectiveness of the brakes. Have had at least 3 65-66 disc brake master cylinders like this. 2 of the cars I used an adjustable push rod. Another had the push rod length modified. It's about 1/4" difference.
Might be worth asking White Post about it.
I have had excellent work done by Brake and Equipment Warehouse for sleeving master cylinders.
They did it with a very quick turn around time. Also, they answered all my questions and were very eager to help. I
would rate their customer service as A++.

If your master cylinder has it's original guts, would be good to measure the depth to give them a reference point.
Will do. Thanks.
