Even the clutch pedal in my 1992 Dakota sits higher than the brake pedal.

Many Thanks for all your responses. I think i`m going to install the column this morning and do a dry run electrical test and hope for the best. My 6 pack engine arrives shortly and i`ll fasten that and the 4 speed together to the K member and slip these in from the bottom. I would have liked to post some pics but i can`t figure out how and i`m not that good on the comp. If you`d like a pic or two i can do that by email anital@eagle.ca Thanks Again to Moparts !!

I would imagine that, after you do the electrical test to make sure everything works, you'll remove the column before installing the K-frame/engine/trans/steering gear. Otherwise, you may have some trouble getting the K-frame to line up without bumping into the the bottom of the column shaft on the steering box input shaft. I plan on doing mine this way as well, but haven't done it yet. Just seems like it could be an issue. Others have installed from bottom before and chime in with their experiences.

I was up under the dash looking real close and there`s no more room for the brake pedal to rise up as the linkage has no room left to travel.I also have 3-70 Chargers all p/b cars and all the linkages are the same.

Your pedals are correct, car is much nicer to drive when the brake and gas pedal are fairly close, if you watch a nascar race they sometimes show the drivers foot quickly going between gas and brake pedal which are about even, Not sure why some cars have the brake pedal even with the clutch, maybe bent or wrong pedal, problem/wrong booster.

well, our pedels are way offset also. everything appeard to be original to the car before we restored it. and again, there wasn't any more room for adjustment for the break pedel to come forward. the car is a 70 charger with power drums
