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.

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-

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?
