What hole do you have it set to on the pedal ?

I thought I had the booster clevis mounted in the lower hole on the brake pedal, but am now second guessing that. I went and double checked and since I have the parallel brackets it looks like the booster would line up with the upper hole. I just ordered a set of the angled brackets so I can be sure I'm using the lower hole.

a larger bore master cylinder should give you a SOFTER pedal.

Yeah, but it will also shorten the stroke. Originally Posted by Dark Pursuit

When I put it back together I used the upper hole without any thought to the ratio change. After quite a while when I first drove the car again, I remembered only thinking the brakes had a pedal feel issue previously and that it was worst than I remembered. I going to try it again with a new set of angled mounting brackets, the lower hole on the pedal, and a complete bleed job. Hopefully that will take care of it.
