Perhaps someone on here has a stock 65 or 66 A body power brake bracket you can look at pictures of and get measurements from . Basically it is just moving the push lever up on a...

    Oil Color

    This is also a possible cause.using black RVT sealant on gaskets can cause oil to turn black.I had this happen in one of my old motorcycles once. In my bikes (two strokes ones) the oil only lubricates the clutch and trans so the oil stays gold colored for it's life but it turnes black when ever...
