Hello,

I have a 76 Camaro with an aftermarket brake booster (previous owner installed).

My brakes keep dragging.

I have a temporary solution, but need to know a more permanent one.

My only adjustment for the booster is behind the peddle. I adjusted this all the way out to try to stop the drag. No luck. (At least I think that's the adjustment)

What I needed to do temporarily is to place a few washers between the booster and master cylinder. This is definitely not something I want permanent since I don't want stuff to get between them.

I saw online that many people have adjustable rods that stick out of the booster. Mine is not adjustable.

What do I need to do? Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

You are 90% there. If it is too long then it is adjustable. Use more washers to get everything right where you want it. Then remove the washers and measure the thickness. Then just use a had grinder and shorten the pin the amount you measured or buy an adjustable one and adjust it to that length. I would go as far as putting the length in this thread so I could always find it.

One of the great things about keeping a build thread on a project is you can store tons of info. I have info in mine I know no one wants to see but if I ever need it is there. My threads go back to 2009.

 

I’ll give that a try.

do you know if the rod is one piece all the way from the peddle to the master cylinder. Or is it a piece that goes to the booster and then another piece from the booster to master cylinder?
