with the boot off you can feel the rod to see if it has any play, and thats all you want or you have cheated yourself out of some stroke.

OK, thanks. I can use all the help/suggestions that can be throwed at me.
The '39 to '48 Ford brake service manual states to have 1/2"-3/4" of free pdeal travel. I was using that as a guide. I started out with just a whisker under a 1/2" of free travel. Then today reduced it to a 1/4". I can bring it down to a 1/16", or just a little free travel feel.
