'71 and newer have power assisted front disk brakes. Go look under Caroline. Should be a big round drum attached to the front beam with the master cylinder attached to the back of that drum. That is a vaccuum powered brake booster. If it's in good shape and properly attached to manifold vaccuum at the engine the difference is night and day.
Your '69 shouldn't have it and needs a different master cylinder unless someone has replaced the front beam with one from a '71 and given it disk brakes up front.
