68 Master Cylinder
I finally took the 68 I bought 2 years ago out for my maiden voyage. I knew nothing about it and it was a mess. It didn't run, no brakes, paint was trashed, interior was trashed etc ! Before you comment, I paid very little for it and now it's beautiful ! So anyway, I backed it out of the garage to find I have little or no brakes ! New rear calipers came with it and I rebuilt the fronts and used the original master cylinder. Long story for the simple question I have.. I'm ready to put the new master cylinder in and I see the rod coming out of the booster it adjustable. How do I know where it should be set ?

You can do a "dry-run" on the booster rod gap first. Then after you know its spot-on, you will need to fill, and bench bleed the master. You will need the kit to do that.
