most aftermarket kits that have instructions that are worth a crap , will tell you to drill a hole in the brake pedal about 1" lower than the manual hole. This changes the fulcrum point??? If I said that right. Like Longhorn man said, IF you had a hole an inch lower in your pedal, and had MANUAL BRAKES, I bet it would be a bear to stop. With power brakes, a hole a bit lower, changes the fulcrum, to " tune " the brake pedal to the power assist.
