I bought a power master cylinder kit from a shop on ebay awhile back, its probably disc/drum, anyway to tell? Doesn't the disc hold some residual pressure when your foot is off, and the drum none? thanks, Mark

Usually, a DISC/DISC MC will have both reservoirs equal in size, as opposed to a DISC/DRUM where the rear reservoir (disc) will be larger.

A DISC/DISC uses no residual valves. A 10# residual valve is usually included in the DRUM/DRUM or DISC/DRUM (drum(s) outlet only).
