By chance did you ever replace the master cyl?

Reason is if the new master had the push rod retainer in the piston and the old pushrod had the old keeper still attached it might have made the pedal higher.

Man, so nice of you to post those measurements. Very helpful - tomorrow I’ll measure mine and see how close it is to yours.

I don’t know exactly what yr referring too - but - I think I get they yr saying there might be an extra piece in the assembly that’s pushing the pedal higher.

Maybe I should try replacing the master with a new one from Napa.

Is it also possible that this car has the brake booster before? I feel like I’ve seen those between the MC and the firewall and maybe if it was removed it’s throwing everything off.
