Talking

We replaced the single diaphragm booster on our 71 longbed 2 wd with a dual diaphragm booster from a 3/4 ton truck and are very pleased with the way it works. It is not touchy but it stops very quickly if you want it to.

It was an easy swap and we used the existing lines with just a little adjustment.

The master cylinder is 11 1/2" from the firewall on our setup.

i know very little about brakes... i plan on using my existing master cylinder .. so i wont have to "bench bleed" the new one.... do you think i should go ahead and use the new mc ??

the only part that worries me is the push rod adjustment .. any tips for trick with that section .. or any other section for that matter
