    Now two days later, brakes are doing great.

    Roger, the booster is the type with non adjustable rod so I was surprised to find it off by that much. I'm enjoying the father son time. I know that soon he'll be starting his own family. I'll have some great stories for my grand babies some day.

    Dave, thanks again for reminding me to get the gauge. It has already paid for itself.

    Jerry, all four lock up, front skinny's first. Thats with all the rear bias out of the Wilwood prop valve. I'm surprised how easy the big rear tires lock up. All the more reason I'm liking the rear discs. I doubt he'll ever have much in the bed. Maybe a dirt bike.

    Pope (don't know your first name), if your booster has the non adjustable rod, it can be ground down if it's like mine.

    Honestly guys, I just couldn't stand to let someoneelse do something I should be able to figure out.

    Thanks again guys,
    David

    Do not lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot

    First name's Rich. Ironically, my Camino went into the rear end of a coyote hunter's truck after I fixed the brakes. Glare ice, downhill, and the other guy was backing across the road to check some tracks. Totaled both vehicles off! 540 thou miles on it.
