Brake pedal travel is to high/play

Seems to me that if it had the shorter push rod in it, the beginning no assist stroke would be way low or more than 2 inches travel before braking begins but... the pedal would return to the same stop position. If the rod between the booster and master was set too short, same conditions.
There may be enough adjustment in the pedal stop and brake light switch to make you happy. Just dont know. Good luck
