Ok, this is maybe a stupid question.... I have a new aftermarket '70 disc brake booster & master cylinder. It "looks" like the rod on the brake booster that pushes into the back of the master cylinder is slightly adjustable. Is there a particular "clearance" or "free pedal" I should have between this rod & the master cylinder? How to I check that since I can't see in there when the master cylinder is bolted up? "Stick measuring" mine looks like I've got maybe 1/8" of play before the brake booster rod starts pushing the master cylinder piston. THANKS!
