So I'm installing power disc brake setup on my formally manual drum 68 charger. The set is from Leed brake systems. The kit came with three different sized push rods. I used the mid sized one thinking the shortest would be too short, but know it looks too high. Is there a correct distance. Also my existing brake lines don't fit the new master. Should I just get new brake lines or is there a fitting or adapter i could use? Btw tried contacting Leeds, great looking product but their installation instructions and customer service sucks.

Pedal height is lower for a factory power setup Vs manual. Since it’s not a stock booster and linkage you can run it at whatever height you really want. Make it comfortable and make sure you have enough travel.
The lines will likely need to be custom bent, that setup puts everything very forward in the engine bay. The manufacture would know if there are lines you can buy that are ready to install.
 
Don't set the pedal to low remember that you have carpet and insulation material to go in yet.
You look about right with current push rod.
The standard pedal position of factory power brake cars is quite low I feel.
I have two factory power brake cars and I lengthened the rod between the pedal and the linkage to raise my pedal. I always felt it was going too close to the toe board when the brakes were applied and I didn't like that.
Above poster is right make it comfortable.
 
And unfortunately I cant set up the clutch pedal for while to see how even they will be. Lines aren't really the issues as the fittings are. This master has a different port thread and Im having a heck of a time finding a suitable adapter.
