Default Master cylinder and booster part numbers

OK, I've had it!

The brakes on my Cobra have never been anything to write home about. Fair amount of pedal travel and little braking until the far end of the travel. I'm a big guy and I can just get the brakes to lock up.

So I decided to convert to 11" rotors up front (thanks Clois). While I was at it I checked the linkage between the brake booster and master cylinder to make sure it was the correct length (it was). I also drained the system and put new fluid in. Bled the system, waited a couple of weeks and then bled again.

Result: no difference.

Don, here is where I need your help. The only parts that I am not 100% confident of is the master cylinder and the booster. Both of these were from the old CR and, well, I figure what the heck, I'll replace them and see if anything is better.

Picture below... what should I tell the guy at the parts counter?

thanks!
