You actually want a large bore master. I think the '40 master was 1 1/16" bore if memory serves me right. Standard swap for a dual master is the '67 Ford Mustang for a drum/drum setup, that's what I used. If you get lucky, it will have the residual pressure valves built into the master, so one less thing to mess with. You can stick a paper click in the port and if it feels spongey, that's the valve.

Have you figured out how you're going to actuate the master? Stock Model A pedal is set up to pull as opposed to push, which can make things interesting.

Good luck and enjoy your A!
