Hi all: I think Jack Farris hit it. I had a similar problem on my '66 300 conv. years ago. Solution was to adjust the length (shorten) of the push rod. On the '66, it is the front end of the rod. On my '56 Dodge, the adjustment is at the yoke where it connects to the brake pedal. Perhaps is the same for '55's. Dan Reitz Northridge, CA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
