Which is master cylinder outlet for rear brake?
Even if the rear brake port had a bigger flow area at the master cylinder outlet, the added length of the rear brake lines would make up for it. Either one is a pressure drop, and will limit flow. Remember too that once the caliper piston or wheel cylinder pushes the brake pad into contact, there is no flow and the pressure drop goes to zero.
Which is master cylinder plumbing which is front?

Ok, so maybe a stupid question… I always assumed a dual master cylinder was plumbed with the front bowl to the front brakes and the rear bowl to the rear brakes.
What causes the master cylinder to move forward?
As the small master cylinder pistons are forced forward, brake fluid moves and hydraulic pressure builds. Hydraulic pressure forces the movement of larger pistons in the calipers or wheel cylinders, to stop the rotation of the wheels.
Is the master cylinder front or rear in a corvette?
The replacement cylinder has equal bowl sizes front and rear. It is a Corvette manual cylinder for disc/disc use. One of the reasons I ask is that the manual unit we removed (which was non-corvette) had a larger fitting in the front and a smaller fitting in the rear (but also equal bowl sizes).

Can a drum brake master cylinder work with a disc?
If you use a drum brake master cylinder that doesn’t feature a residual valve, the brake pedal will be spongy, requiring pumping of the brakes to attain sufficient pressure. A dual master cylinder designed to work with a disc/drum setup will feature two different reservoir sizes.
