Re: Brake vacuum

2 questions

1) on the stock single pot master cylinder are the bolts that connect it to the fire wall horizontal or at they more at around a 45° angle.

2) about 2 years ago I moved the bolt hole location for where the master cylinder push rod connects to the break pedal. I moved it around an inch lower because that is what I read you are supposed to do if you install power disk breaks. That was when I had my old engine and plenty of vacuum. Now that I have less vacuum because of my new engine I was wondering if it would be a good idea to move it back up to the top hole in order to get more leverage. I am trying to not have to push on my brakes as hard because I am trying to heal from a foot injury and don’t want to put too much pressure in that location. My plan is to also install a vacuum canisters.
