Since you sound a little unsure on the master; maybe pull the boot back and make sure it is a 1" bore.

Yes, it is a 1" ID bore.

The reason I am unsure of what vehicle the MC originally goes to is I bought it 3-4 years ago. I was getting a number of items ready for a certain color at the local powder coaters. The MC was one of those items. I pulled the MC "innards" out in order, wrapped them in a brake fluid soaked rag then put that into a sealed plastic sandwich bag, then placed in the back of the cabnet untill I was ready for them here 3-4 weeks ago, when I assembled and installed the MC. After the MC was powder coated, I shoved a rag in the bore and sealed it with one of those plastic tubing plugs, then put the chrome bail and lid on, put all that into a plastic bag, and it went into that same cabnet.

I have run all the brakes up tight, like you sugested waiting for a family member to stop by and help me.
