Hi all been a while. Car was down for a few years. It's back up with Ford fuel injection and a full host off mustang Steve accessories from my last build with it.
My brother has a 65 and I have a 66. Both of us using Steve's booster/brake pedal plate setup with the pin correctly installed and a 2000 v6 booster. He has the Cobra brakes and I have the 2005 brakes.
Both stop great both are bled right. We both have a pedal though that seems lower then it should be. It doesn't seem to effect stopping, however I'm curious if booster or master has an adjustment that anyone has played with to bring the pedal feel a little higher when stopping
Thanks!

The pedal will sit lower than the normal drum brake pedal height. With the lower pedal ratio than what it used to have, the pedal should only have to travel 2/3 as far to accomplish the same task as before. So, I followed Ford’s lead from other power brake cars and had the static height be lower than the antiquated manual brakes the car came with. Thus, the pedal sits lower so you do not have to lift your leg as high every time you go for the brakes.
I assume you meant you have the 2000 MASTER CYLINDER, not the 2000 BOOSTER.
REMEMBER!!! When posting a question about your Mustang or other Ford on this forum, BE SURE to tell us what it is, what year, engine, etc so we have enough information to go on. |
