I had changed out the clutch and it made so much difference, my wife could drive the car.
I have a bit more things in the way to do power brakes. Thanks Dave.
If you have the Lone Star pedal set, what are you "adjusting" as the balance bar?

With the "new" 5/8" master cylinder up front that circuit will require a longer stroke then the 3/4" M/C rear circuit. With the brake pedal at rest (on mine after adjustment) the front circuit (5/8" M/C) side of the balance bar is about 1/2" further towards the driver than the rear circuit. Ideally, when the brakes are mashed and both circuits fully engaged the balance bar should be parallel with the fire wall. Follow Tilton's on-line instructions and you'll be fat-city..
BTW... another consideration for "larger" brakes.. If you go to another style calipers (multi-puck) then the lesser volume of the 5/8" master cylinder may or may not become an issue. Remember, the balance bar is only going to provide so much compensation between the f/r circuits. The more total piston internal fluid surface area that the additional pucks represent, the more a higher volume of fluid will required to provide pad engagement.
