The brakes on my 914/6 still feel spongy after a super blue fluid flush and several bleedings.
The car has stainless steel lines, but I do not know how old the master cylinder is. I have access to an 89 911 19mm master cylinder in great working shape.
The question is will it fit without modification.

I wouldn't think so. They converted to boosted brakes in the late 70's so the masters are not going to be the same.
How were the brakes before you flushed? The stainless lines can flex also. I still think new rubber lines are best.
Check inside the boot on the back of the master. If it is wet with brake fluid, it is done. A new master should be about $100.
