[Chevelle-list] brake pedal rod adjustment

[DK239 at aol.com]

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-

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?
