Switch to manual brakes makes car run better?

@1973dust that will be a good thing actually, my pedal right now is very low, almost flush with my gas pedal, I actually started a thread with pics asking if that was normal for these guys, which I dont believe it is. Im thinking someone when doing a brake swap/work used a pushrod that isnt the proper length. When I do this, I will probably buy an adjustable pushrod from Mancinis and get my pedal back to where it should be
Id like to keep a factory appearance with the MC, so I will have to look for a different one in a 15/16 bore and four bolt, if anyone has any suggestions, Id love to hear them :)

The 15/16” MC is the way to go. DoctorDiff sells the adjustable push rod as well, no reason to wait an extra week and pay additional shipping from Mancini.

The only thing I’ve found with the plastic MC and caps is that the caps/seals tend to leak if you open and close them too much (like for the initial bleeding process). You can buy replacement caps and gaskets for them, I did that with mine and haven't had any issues since. Dorman #42044 for caps, #42081 for gaskets

Also, on the cap that raised section of plastic on the cap is a vent, and it works best if that's at the highest point- ie, don't put that facing the front of the car, because when you stand on the brakes the fluid shift will put fluid out the vent.

So don’t put that caps like this, put them so the red arrows in this picture point at the firewall
