Default Disc brake master help needed

Well I did it again bought one of those new fangled disc brake conversions second hand for the 68....of course no directions..the master cyl appears to be 180 from normal???...anyone know for sure before I plumb this thing from scratch..which reservoir feeds which end of the car..I assume the big one in the rear feeds the front???? the brake lines from the stock 68 master thread in this thing 180 perfect just are not long enough....

Thnx Bud.

Bud:

Every master cyl I ever worked on had the big reservoir for the front discs. No need for the extra fluid for drums as the shoes return and self adjust over time to expand. The fronts self adjust but use up fluid to do so as the piston or pistons stay farther and farther out the bore.
