I,ve got good pedal but they feel like manual brakes. I've got good vacuum from the 350. What am I missing? In one of the forums I think I read that the pushrod from the pedal can be adjusted, could that be the answer? I'm open for any ideas. Thanks | | |

I redrilled the brackets that the pushrod from the pedal goes to to move it closer to the pivot point. Helped a lot. You pushrod should be adjusted to have a small amount of play before pushing in the booster or master cyl.
