Make sure to set the correct length of the adjustable rod between the booster & MC that regulates the piston travel.
Also make sure to bench bleed the MC prior to install, a piece of steel line 18" long cut in two will allow the open ends to be bent around into the reservoir.
So I toke a 18" line, cut in half to get two 9" lines. Then put the rods into the reservoir (of the booster> This will provide a way to measure the adjustable rod? Once I get new M.C, and I pull of the old MC, I can take a picture if need be.
The open ends of the cut brake line put into the filled MC reservoir will allow you to bench bleed the air from the MC by pumping the piston with a screwdriver. This will reduce the amount of bleeding required after the new MC is installed. BTW bleed the brake lines with the engine running, the booster doesn't work properly without engine vacuum.
You'll have to fabricate a measuring device for checking the rod length as detailed in the second image. I used a piece of aluminum flat stock, a piece of thick plastic such as the hang tag from a socket or wrench would work also. I think you could also carefully use a combination square & not have to fab anything.
