Tandem master cylinders started in type 3s in 67.  68-9 used a unique 
one, then 70-1got a new version that was improved (new 
switches/logic.)  72-3 has a different outlet pattern.

The only style that is available as a replacement is the 72-3 version 
which will retrofit all the earlier years if you also replace the LF 
hard line at the same time.

These are all disk/drum systems, but they will work on earlier cars 
if you don't mind changing a few lines, too, and want the extra 
margin of safety that the tandem system brings.
