Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
Move the pivot up on the pedal where the master cylinder hooks 3/4" and it will hold. Same problem with mine

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
A bit off topic, but how was the UPR kit to install?

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
Thanks Lee. The UPR kit was not too bad but definitely not 45 minutes for someone like me. The challenging part was figuring out a line lock schematic because the master cylinders were very different. One had two ports and the other had 3.

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
How big is the master cylinder bore? If it's 1-1/8" like a lot of those kits, that's way too big for the factory brakes, something like 7/8"-15/16" normally works well.

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
Measure your brake pedal. That will tell you your pedal ratio. Then go to any brak mfg website and check their master cylinder chart and it will tell you exactly what size MC to use. If your not sure how to measure it. I can walk you through it, it's not hard. Let me know.

Re: Mustang 5.0 Stocker brake pressure
I have a chart somewhere. I just can't remember where I put it. There's actually 2 charts one for a foot brake and one for a hand brake. Chassis shops can tell you. http://www.mpbrakes.com/techtalk/how...ng-pedal-ratio
