yes it definitely needed adjustment from where the installer had it... thats where i'm at... when i'm at the recommenced 1/4 inch freeplay at bearing (factory is 5/32 I think?), i get the pedal to the floor symptoms of a diaphram with an over center spring... as i move the adjustment closer to zero (in full contact with pp) it starts to get better and the pedal starts to sit higher and more towards that 1 inch of freeplay at the pedal... but I run out of adjustment before the overcenter spring is functioning properly... if I had another 1/4 inch on the bearing to pp distance i'd have it.

I am now thinking the pedal rod is too short ?? anyone have a factory measurement for a 1970 cuda pedal to z bar rod ?
