I'd run the math and figure out the pedal travel bit but my brain hurts today so I'm not going there!

Good luck if you plan on reading the whole build, it went for a long time!

Yes, the 89 felt like any modern pickup. The master cylinder swap may have contributed. Also, the clutch feels way different hooked to the 68 pedal set, it has similar geometry changes. When I first hooked it (the brakes) up I thought the hy-power unit wasn't working because of how hard the pedal was; but it actually has amazing stopping power, just no pedal feel. And if you kill the motor while you are rolling... well then you KNOW it was working! That is why I stopped working on the project, I consider it unsafe until I get a working auxiliary pump.
