The shaft that goes through the bracket has a lot of slop in it as does the 
brake pedal.

Thanks but I got it adjusted. I had to take out the whole pedal assembly and it 
seems to be a piece of junk. does anybody make a decent pedal set for this year?

Re: [Chevelle-list] brake pedal rod adjustment

[DK239]

Well I figured out what I had to do. I tried pushing the pin out through  the 
hole but the hole and the pin did not line up. I tried taking the nuts off  
of the MC but it would not come out far enough with the lines attached. I ended 
 up taking the clutch pedal out which let the brake pedal come out. Then I  
screwed the clevis back down and reassembled. It sounds simple but believe me 
it  wasn't. I think part of the problem was the junk reproduction parts that 
The  Classic Chassis used when they butchered my car to start with.
 
I drove the car about three miles and they didn't lock up. Now I need to  
figure out why I have no pedal. I am going to bleed them and see if that  helps.

I suppose you  could take take the master cylinder off and do it that way. 
Kind of the  backwards way to do it, but if works, then it works. Let me know

I don't know how they got the pin in. There are a couple of braces in the  
way and the steering column.The only way I can reach the rod is with a pair of  
long needle nose pliers. I'm thinking if I take the MC loose I can turn the  
rod back in. May be wishful thinking.

That's odd. I  had no problem at all getting to it on mine. I even have a 
clutch pedal. How  did you get the pin in there? What else is in the way of you 
getting the pin  out? I know when I did mine, I took the drivers bucket seat 
out. Its so easy  to take 4 bolts out and be able to lay under the dash without 
being a  contortionist.

I tried, I can get the clip off (barely) but there is not enough room  to get 
the pin out. I can't even get my hand on any of the parts.

David,

Your problem  is under the dash, like you suspect. You need to take the pin 
out of the  clevis, and adjust the clevis in(towards the firewall) about a 
1/8th inch.  You need to have a little bit of play right there, otherwise it 
will 
lock  up just like you described. It's a pretty common problem people have 
when  upgrading their master cylinder/boosters. You should have plenty of space 
 
under the dash. I adjusted it under the dash on my 66. Good  luck-

Subject: [Chevelle-list] brake pedal rod  adjustment


I had a Willwood master cylinder installed on my 66 chevelle w/non  power 
front disc/rear drum. The brakes lock up after about a mile of  driving. I 
checked the brake pedal rod and it has been adjusted all the  way out which I'm 
pretty sure is what is causing my problem. I tried to  adjust the rod under the 
dash but I can't get to it. Can I take the master  cylinder loose and adjust it 
from under the hood?

 David, I can look under mine tonight, and take a picture, if you'd like. Just 
let me know.

I'll look and see but The last time I tried I couldn't get to the end of 
the pin. The only way I could get to the clip was with a long skinny 
screwdriver.

 David,

I suppose you could take take the master cylinder off and do it that way. Kind 
of the backwards way to do it, but if works, then it works. Let me know what 
you figure out-

I don't know how they got the pin in. There are a couple of braces in the 
way and the steering column.The only way I can reach the rod is with a pair of 
long needle nose pliers. I'm thinking if I take the MC loose I can turn the rod 
back in. May be wishful thinking.

That's odd. I had

  you get the pin in there? What else is in the way of you getting the pin out? 
  I know when I did mine, I took the drivers bucket seat out. Its so easy to 
  take 4 bolts out and be able to lay under the dash without being a 
  contortionist.

David,

Your problem is 
under the dash, like you suspect. You need to take the pin out of the 
clevis, and adjust the clevis in(towards the firewall) about a 1/8th inch. 
You need to have a little bit of play right there, otherwise it will lock 
up 
just like you described. It's a pretty common problem people have when 
upgrading their master cylinder/boosters. You should have plenty of space 
under the dash. I adjusted it under the dash on my 66. Good 
luck-
