Justin,

These master cylinders require a re-adjustment of the pushrod in the
booster.

There should be no more play than 1-2 mm.

Unbolt the master from the booster and let someone press the pedal and see
when the master starts to move. You will see, there is too much play.

The rod in the booster has an adjustable nut on it's end. Adjust it and it
will be fine.

please offer advice.  I have ford master cylinder from Marino at pantera
east with wilwood front calipers and pbr rears.  (sort of home-made system,
but piston volumes seem to match up right on paper).  All new lines (made by
me, several done twice because they leaked...), now with NO LEAKS.  I have
bleed the system with mity-vac and motiv pressure bleeders over and over
again, yet pedal still is soft.  
 
 
 
Does anyone know what the bore size for this Master cylinder is?  I have not
been thrilled with pantera east since he sold me "the correct" u joints for
the driveshafts which were actually too long and required me to spill blood
and a lot of curses to make them work (and I still fear they will fall out
once I get over 30 mph).  Has anyone else had this problem?  My father used
the same master cylinder with the stock brakes, and had the exact same
problem.  So much that it lead him to sell the car when he could not fix it
(one of several problems)...  Justin
