70 challenger brake pedal height

[MGC6745]

I’m having an issue with my brake pedal height. Ever since I got the car the brake pedal has been very high. I’ve just been living with it but now I’m doing a manual transmission swap and it’s way higher than the clutch pedal.
I’ve seen kits that have 2 different length rods, I don’t know the name, and I think the shorter one is what I need. Does anyone know any measurements or where I can get just the rods?

My car has power drum brakes. It’s not original in many ways. It was an original 340 car that now has a 426.

Personally I would measure carefully & fabricate or modify what you have . It is probably 7:1 ratio so an inch in the rod would drop the pedal 7 "or more

Thank you. I bet you’re right. It may come to that

I would have to look. There are different positions holes on the brake pedal arm. Disc and drum position?

The brake pedal is the same for power and manual brakes. The power brake pedal linkage to the booster is shorter. The manual brake setup just uses a rod to the master cylinder.
