    That's defiantly making my theory more accurate then. When i measured mine it came out to 5 13/16".

    You should be using 1/3 to 1/2 the stroke of the master.

    Hey guys! sorry for the late response. But the issue has been solved. The cause of the low pedal and no brakes was due to the wrong length cylinder rod. I found and removed the original rod that was in the car and swapped it with the new M/C. The difference between the lengths was just under 1 inch, which made a gigantic difference in travel. Everything now works great!

    Thanks for the help.(y)
