I used the original booster & m/c (rebiult) & a set of 70 pedals. Is this normal or have i done something wrong??? Any Help would be great.

I have since converted it to manual brakes and the pedals are still nice, straight and level. Sounds like some of you guys have some issues. 4894363-Mvc-009f_24690758(Large)(2).jpg (332 downloads)

I have since converted it to manual brakes and the pedals are still nice, straight and level. Sounds like some of you guys have some issues. I cant imagine my brake pedal as high as my clutch pedal! I can't remember a car or truck including large trucks that i have driven where the brake pedal wasn't lower than the clutch, sometimes just a little bit but in those cases the clutch pedal was almost even with the throttle pedal, in other cases like my 68 RR with power front disc the clutch pedal is much higher than the gas pedal and having the brake pedal just a bit higher than the gas pedal makes it much smoother to drive, like taking off on a hill, i just have to move my foot from side to side, not lift my whole leg. Besides the clutch pedal rests at the rubber bumper on its stop, and the brake rests on its stop which includes the brake switch so i dont think their much adjustment

Manual brakes use a straight push rod and will be closer to even with the clutch pedal.
