brake line fitting different size on new master cylinder
Did I get the wrong master cylinder or do I just need an adapter? The rear brake line fits but the threads on the front of the master cylinder are larger?

they usually COME with an adapter. measure the thread size and go get one.

I went and found an adapter at San Antonio Brake & Clutch Service, INC.

Sometimes, you need fittings like Fordman has for sale: http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... 11&t=57641

That's not an oil leak
