Isn’t this question a little late if you have already placed an order?
without more information your question is difficult to answer. What vendor were you dealing with? Were you looking for an OEM replacement unit or an aftermarket unit? Did you order a standard throw slave cylinder or the long throw slave cylinder?
If you look underneath your dash you can check the linkage to determine if you have a effort reduction kit installed.

The master cylinder for the effort reduction has a short push rod. A long push rod master cylinder is for non effort reduction applications.

(re little late ) Ok, I expected that but because of the timely responses form the members here I will be able to correct the order if needed . So the effort reduction didn't come on the car , its a after market kit? If that's the case than probably do not have effort reducing kit and need to update my order I know what to look for thanks for the picture . I bought from Wilkinson and didn't see any option for the slave cylinder . Thanks for the quick replys
Your car might have the reduction effort setup from the factory. My 74 has it (or I should say had it. It is currently on a shelf). Maybe use a mirror and flashlight and try to look up there. You will see some levers and pivots. If it is there then Wilkinson's offering will work out of the box. If it is a straight connection (no effort reduction system) then Wilkinson's clutch master still works. You simply recycle the second pushrod in John Buckman's photo above from your current setup and you are in business.
Why did you choose to buy the master from Wilkinson? I’m shopping for one as well so looking for advice.
Also, when working on the pedal box, you might hate it less by taking out the driver seat and removing the steering wheel.
Appreciate the replies,any information is always helpful I bought from Wilkinson, been around a long time ,price, can't say I seen another substantially less especially for Pantera specific . (idk)Over the years I have spent a LOT! of time searching for parts and or alternatives . Unfortunately lost a source(P Performance) seems like parts aren't getting easier to find. Anyway point is bolt on (avbp)under $200 to my door ,, Ok. Again for any reply Thanks for your time .
