My '68 Coronet originally came with drum brakes. Years ago I put power brake booster on, kept it 4-wheel drums. Can't say for sure if I got it new or from the wrecker. Pretty sure I changed MC too. It was always "touchy", but thought that's the way Dodge does things.
Fast forward "today". Because my knees can't bend anymore (they are actually fixed) I can't safely drive the car. I had to modify my 69 Firebird so the pedal and gas pedal are on the same plane. I just used a die to tap another inch or so on the rod to lower the pedal. Talking to my father-in-law today he thinks I got the wrong booster and/or brake rod installed. He said the manual brake pedal are higher (in my picture below) than power brakes.
Money is an issue, so I can't start throwing money at it. What is the best way to get my brake pedal lower?
This is what it looks like right now...
