[Chevelle-list] brake pedal rod adjustment

[bad66chevelle454 at aol.com]

 David,

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-

  [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?
