does anyone know if the OEM master cylinder contains an intergal residual pressure valve?

http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/A1C0/1040000/01292.oap?year=1966&make=Chevrolet&model=C30%2BPickup%2BRWD&vi=1321951&ck=Search_01292_1321951_-1&pt=01292&ppt=C0066

apparently, the drums have been turned so many times now that normal shoes cannot reach the drum in one pump of the pedal.
one pump = very little brakes
second pump = locked wheels

Hy john_brunson, if the master cylinder was designed for drum only brakes, then yes it should have a built in resisdual pressure valve, hope that helps.
