    Ricko1966, I am not looking for any animosity here. I posted in the afternoon on Sunday, you put me onto this issue with your post at 8 pm on Sunday, I sat down on Sunday evening and wracked my brain as to what I was missing and sent a reply 1 am on Monday about reusing the pedal. I agree...

    Project is stalled. Cannot solve brake problem

    just got home from work. Checked the pedal/pushrod clearance. There is no slop. Pedal and rod move together into the booster and there is no freeplay. The rod screws on to the back of the booster. If the plan is to increase the rod travel. It might be quicker and easier for me to extend...

    I contacted a friend who is in the business of selling parts for squarebodies. He provided me this picture if the vacuum vs hydroboost pedal arm. He told me that hydroboost and manual are the same pedal. You can see that the vacuum booster is 5/8” lower and that this should not be causing my...

    Stupid question….if I remove the master from the booster and measure how much the push rod currently comes out of the booster when the pedal is depressed, wouldn’t that tell me if I have enought travel on the master side?

    OK, replies to above posts 12, 13, 14 + 15. 12 + 14 - The AC Delco Master Cylinder has a dimple, (not a hole with spacer) and the Cardone Booster has a solid rod with no adjustment. I was aware of the rod clearance issue when I assembled the system and a "visual" to me looked like they were...
