Brakes Dragging - Pushrod too long?

72Duster440 said

I have that same setup as well, but the shoulder bolt was too large of a diameter to fit in the new brake pedal I put in. Is there a different size for an auto vs manual trans setup?

Same shoulder bolt. The shoulder fits through the pushrod not the pedal . The nut goes on the pedal side after the shoulder butts up against the pedal. Your shoulder doesn't fit through hiem the That is why they give you the bolt. I see and use them on race cars . On a street car I use a factory push rod. Same push rod and bolt for Auto trans and manual trans.

I have several if needed.

I use the A body length for the Iron style 4 bolt.

Or use an E-B- body length for the newer 2 bolt with the adapter. on an a-body.

There are three different length rods for different model cars. Older cars had a castle nut with a cotter pin. There is one in the picture up on the right.
