Master Cylinder
I like this Dodge master cylinder (87 3/4 ton van), but I think the bore diameter (1 1/8") is too big for manual brakes
Does anyone know what application matches that but has a 1" bore diameter?

I've got that same MC sitting on my shelf, once of these days it's going into my car...
It's for a disc brake car, not a manual.
Mancini Racing has an aluminum master cylinder for Mopars that has a 15/16" bore:

The Mopar part number is P5249270, you might be able to find it at your local dealer.

I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place, I'm using 73mm piston calipers up front, which generally require more volume, however with out the power assist I'll have too hard of a brake pedal with the larger diameter bore size.
I have to measure my pedal ratio. I have the factory manual brake pedal. If the ratio is around 6:1 I can use the 1 1/8" diameter bore, but I think I'm only at 5:1.
Good info here:

It's a real kick that some of these aftermarket brake companys would sell me that same master cylinder for $139 when if you know what your looking for it can be had for $22
