New Master Brake Cylinder

First let me say Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  Now if you look at this picture and see the master brake cylinder to the top right (where the spiral brake lines are going in) you can tell it's old.  On one of my many test run's, I noticed that if I was at a stoplight on a hill - I had to press my non-power brakes all the way down with all of my might just to keep it from rolling back.  I though I had air in my brake lines and while bleeding them - I found no issues.  So I said to myself - let me replace this master cylinder and have peace of mind.  After replacement - no more rolling on hills.  There is a kit that you can add between the firewall on master cylinder which is a booster, but I opt'd not to add this because you will have to reconfigure your brake lines to fit the additional length of entire unit.
