    Did the early cars come from the factory with a bolt on cover master cylinder like this one? My car had one in it, and when I ordered a 39495 master, this is what came in, but I don't see any pictured in the gallery?

    I have seen that type before. My 70 came with a equal sized dual reservoir with the snap on cap.

    Thanks all ....... :thumbs2:

    That puts my mind at ease as to whether this is the right one or not. It is a perfect match to the one that was in the car and the car only has 12,600 miles on it so I figured it was the original.

    the one that came on my '71 had a bolt on cover! Bought it in 1990 with 47000 miles on it...I believe it was original
