I have a power brake booster adapter bracket on my 1968 Chevy C10 shortbed and i also installed a brand new Tuff Stuff 9in booster TFF-2224NB.

My 68 is originally a 396 engine with 400 turbo automatic and column shift. There is a very long shift rod that is attached to a shift lever down near the trans then up near the power brake booster to a lever there.

The problem is that long rod is hitting the bottom of the booster and will not allow me to shift at all.

I knew some where having issues with a shift lever but a smaller booster was supposed to fix that...but this is a long rod hitting the bottom of the booster.

The rod looks to be a factory type of assembly but I could be wrong.

Anybody else run into this issue and what you did to solve it? Thanks!
