65 Power Brake Booster setup

[William C.]

Does anyone have an easy, accurate way of setting the position of the yoke that threads onto the shaft on the back side of the brake booster/ Either a measurement from the rear of the mounting bracket to the rear of the yoke or a dimension from the rear of the mounting bracket to the centerline of the clevis pin hole would be perfect. All I can find is "use some J-xyz tool" and I need a "home mechanic" approach. All help appreciated.

Bill, I would think that the measurement would be somewhat variable between diffferent cars. I adjust on the car.

Bill -

Adjust the clevis on the car after installing the booster to get 1/16"-1/4" pedal free play before you feel resistance from the power valve in the booster.
