Changing my 70 RR from power disc to Manual Disc. I have the Mancini adjustable pushrod. What length is everyone starting with?

That depends on MS, Booster, etc. Start with it tight enough to not fall out and then adjust for pedal travel/feel He's going from power to manual, no booster. Can't help on the length question, while all my rides are manual brake, none of them are B bodies.

All the manual MC pushrods I've ever seen have that goofy little rubber/plastic retainer on the end of the pushrod that retains it in the MC. There is no adjustment possible.

I'm gonna guess that you initially do the install and adjustment without the rubber retainer. Then remove the master, install the retainer and bolt up the master again. But I'm just guessin' !! What I wanna know is what sort of feeler gauge you use to measure that clearance and where? Seems to me .030 at the rod end should equal X" of play at the pedal.

On a manual brake car, removing the pushrod bolt from the pedal to make sure the pushrod is a tad shorter than the pedal when it just touches the stop will work best. one can also try unbolting the master from the firewall or check that the pedal is not buried against the stop

I’ll start at 6.75 (Found on another site) and go from there. I’ll let you all know how it went.
Thanks!
