    i never had alot of travel in my through the floor brake pedal.i just got done doing the bolt and washer thing to take the wobble out , which worked well.
    now i think it is even less. question is ,can i adjust the push rod for more travel? if not,what do y'all suggest? bob

    pretty sure you can,just got done screwing around with my 70 that i bought for parts,i know you can on a 1955 m38a1,what i did was back it off just enough to have a little free travel like a clutch only not quite that much,just enough to let the mastercylinder full return without the rod touching,by the way i only have about a inch and a half of travel,you may just have good brakes,when everything is set right there wont be alot of movement in the pedel,liquid doesnt compress

    it might be something i have to get used to . it stops pretty good ,i think i'll
    jack it up and spin the wheels to see if any of the shoes are dragging.
    thanks,bob
