I have been back at the CJ trying to finish it up before I start on the Vette and push it to the side. I have waaay to much money tied up in the CJ to abandon it.

My question is about the brake system which was the last thing that P**sed me off and I stopped working on it til I was ready again.

1) Is there different pedal assemblies for standard and power brakes or are they all the same?

2) I know there are different master cylinders so are the push rods from the pedal assembly to the master cylinder different also?

Symptoms: I cannot get my rear brakes to bleed so I am thinking maybe the master cylinder is not being pushed far enough to allow the fluid to enter the rear system. This may be because the pedal assembly is configured differently or the push rod is shorter. As it is now, when everything is hooked up, the brake pedal is only a couple inches off the floor which looks wrong to me. I am thinking it should be 4 or 5 inches up, closer to the clutch pedal.

I would like to at least know which way to proceed before it makes me mad again and I quit working on it for another couple of months. Any input here? Anybody have a power brake push rod out and handy to take a length measurement?

Anybody want to buy $15K worth of parts almost assembled for about $6K??? LOL. It isnt that bad yet but after 4 years I am ready for this thing to quit p***ing me off!
