Re: Power Brakes - Pedal Height

i found that adjusting the push rod is a bad idea if the only issue is pedal height. when you install the mc you want the mounting to the booster to sit flush with no pressure on the mc. if you have pressure on the mc you will pressurize your system leading to the brakes having pressure with no return of pressure. essentially the breaks will lock out and will not allow pressure to return to the mc, you will burn your brakes, end of sentence. adjusting the pedal is a pain but i would say much better than the alternative. easiest way is the unbolt the column from the dash, loosen the bolt from the treaded rod attached to the pedal and adjust the pedal height that way before adjusting the push rod. i hope this will be helpful. adjust the push rod was a major mistake for me.
