After throughly Flushing, Blowing dry all the lines, cleaning as many Wheel Cylinders as well as you can and replacing some and the Master Cyl. you should have it clean enough to install the Very BEST Fluid!
I Highly recommend the DOT 5 Silicone Brake Fluid (Order the QUARTS, the 12 OZ are outrageous $).
I have used it for 25 to 30 Years and three of my Stude's. have not needed Hydraulic Parts replacement EVER since installing it!
Most here also agree, just get all fittings good and tight and expect to replace the Hydraulic Stop Light Switch with a Mechanical, normally OPEN switch, either Now or after the Fluid eats the Hydraulic Switch.

When Ordering a New M/C you can order the 531510 for non-Disc and just be sure to Remove the Residual Valve on the end of the Internal Return Spring and the Rubber Cushion in the back end of the Cylinder.
The '59-'64 Chassis Parts Catalog lists all the Parts of the M/C's. and those 2 Parts are THE Only difference.
