Even if a leak develops in the rear system and drains all the fluid out of the reservoir, as long as the front system is tight it will remain in operation. Only if you develop a leak in both master cylinder/line/caliper systems would you lose all brakes. And even then, multiple reservoirs may not help.

A single reservoir is different than a single master cylinder. I have a 66 Corvette with a single piston/circuit master cylinder. With it, a line failure anywhere will leave me totally without brakes (except emergency)
I have not talked to Bob yet, I am hoping to call tomorrow morning.

I think I'm stupid, not really getting what you are saying here Dan. If I develop a leak in the rear brakes and it drains the reservoir I will be sucking air into the front brakes instead of brake fluid? I also will not have a clutch right?
Your corvette master cyl sounds the same as my 55 Chevy and my 60 Corvette.
