Anyone know if the pushrod in the front of the master cylinder (the one that connects to the brake pedal) is supposed to have a slight bend in it? (it is the stock master cylinder also)

For me personally I have never worked on one that had a slight bend in it.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

The rod should be straight. Bent rods bend easier than straight rods. I know someone will have a situation that used a bent rod and it worked for 100,000 miles, but I have never seen one. The rod should also be as short as possible. If it needs to be longer because of relocating the MC; the rod diameter needs to be larger than stock for added stiffness.
