Re: brake light switch adjustment
When I switched to power brakes, I set the pedal as close to the floor as I could without it bottoming out, leaving about an inch more room than needed. I didn't like how high the pedal was on non-power brakes. It used to hit the bump stop whenever you let go of the pedal. Now it never does. It makes the transition from gas to brakes a lot faster and easier.
As long as you have enough room to press the pedal all the way until it won't move anymore, and give yourself another inch of room after that, you should get all the effort the brakes can give without having to bang your knee on your chin trying to get a foot on top of the brake pedal. This also gives you lots of adjustment to the brake stop light switch.
