Hi guys, just installed a ssbc bendix booster and discbrake/drum brake mc. Vacuum from engine is fine, but as soon as car is turn on the brake pedal gets too soft and wont retract. Turn the car off and brake pedal pulls right out. Called the seller and says the push rod is not adjusted right. How in the heck do i adjust the push rod?

Thanks ahead of time guys.

Have you removed the push rod, to see if it can be threaded on the end that goes in the booster?

Sounds like he's telling you to adjust the headspace.

Where do i get that tool and where should the pushrod be adjusted to
? Do i need an adjustable proportioning valve or is this optional?

In the picture posted above, you can where the MC bolts onto the booster. There are two bolts that hold the MC onto the booster. Remove the brake lines from the MC, and see where the push rod is, and make adjustments as necessary. You MAY end up having to buy a new, adjustable PR...
