Larry, I saw that post and they were referring to a different master
cylinder off a 69-70 Mustang if I remember correctly.  It sounded like
the check valve was in the brake line attachment area.  On the Ford
part I bought there was no check valve and the set up look just like
what Hall sold.  I have it on the car right now and it works just like
the last one I had before and there is no brake drag at all.   Thanks!
 Mike
