OK based on discussion and your success without power brakes, I've, disconnected the brake pushrod - Pedal to Booster and travel of pedal is much greater than when connected - so not pedal. So given everything else the limit has to be between power booster and MC. Life is short and I need to resolve this - I ordered a new booster set up from Summit so I'm hoping that eliminates any issue between input to booster to output of MC. Will let folks know result of this experiment. Unfortunately I live in Minnesota and will have to wait until spring to really test but I'm hoping to get a different pedal feel. Will advise!
Sorry, no the brake pads are not glazed - apologize I didn't;'t mean to blow past it
