    No Ford boosters have adjustable input shaft.  Some aftermarket china ones do. If the pedal pin is installed in the right spot and the plate on the front of the pedal assy is correct, the pedal will sit at the right height.

    A no-cost solution is to remove the plate and position it on the pedal support closer to the driver seat.

    Re: brake booster

    I assumed when you said it was a foxbody booster that you had used my installation kit consisting of a mounting plate that replaces the front flanges on the pedal support, plus a new pedal pin that is repositioned on the pedal to create a different pedal ratio as well as make the brake pedal sit at the right height.   Without that kit, installed following the included dimensions and instructions, it is a crapshoot whether the installation will work.

    Did you use that kit and instructions?

    steve
    many year ago i sent the pedal support bracket to you and you installed the bearing kit  new pedal pin and plate to be used with the 7" fox booster i bought from you.
    that plate is stalled on the front of the brake bracket inside the car.

    Re: brake booster

    Ok, that is good. Dimensionally it should be correct.
