1986 K30- replacing hydro boost- Pedal Code?

So my 86 K30 srw 3+3 has a leaking hydro to master leak. Leaking for way too long now.

Rock auto lists rebuilt units but lists 2 different pedal codes.

Question- what's a pedal code and how do I find out what my pedal code is?

Thanks for any info!

I don't know about the pedal code.
I have 2,C-30's,An 82 and a 86.
Both have hydroboost and use different length push rods between the hydroboost unit and master cylinder.This is the difference in the depth of the hole in the master.
I understand the brake rod is mounted different on the pedal for hydroboost than on regular or vacuum assist brake pedals.
Mike.

Mike, can the rods be swapped like on the boosters? This will be the first time messing with a hydroboost system for me.

The difference in the rods is because of the different master cylinders.
Far as I know,the hydroboost units are the same.
It works!
Mike.
