whats the proper way to adjust the push rod that goes between the pedal and master? my pedal stops before it hits the floor. im thinking thats why the rod bent and also pushed the master off the firewall
Some pushrods are adjustable, some are not. I think most of the original Ford masters are not adjustable. I think someone said Napa sold a replacement that came with an adjustable pushrod.
What I did with mine was cut the rod with a hacksaw, and then ran a die over the shaft of the clutch master(held it with vise grips) and then ran a die over the short piece that went to the clutch pedal arm. If I remember right a 3/8-16 die ran over it and made perfect threads. I then went to the store and bought a coupler nut. These are really long hex nuts that are used to join pieces of all-thread together when using it to hang pipe from the ceiling. I used it to join the pieces back together with a thin nut on one end to lock the adjustment.
This gave me a little more pedal height, but it might not work in your case if you want the pedal travel to be shorter. It sounds like something else is wrong with your system. I wonder if something is hanging up down at the slave.
