​Hey yall,

Got a 69 Barracuda that has a break pedal super high. With my foot just touching the gas pedal, I'd guess the brake pedal is 8-10"'s higher. It's a 3 speed auto with drums. Always been like this, I've adopted a left foot braking driving style just to have a foot closer to the brake to feel comfortable driving. Aside from that, the brakes work well. I've never worked on brakes before. I'm guessing that isn't normal.

Any thoughts as to what might be causing it? I was looking for a diagram of how the brake assembly attaches to the master cylinder to see if maybe at some point in the past a part was swapped out with something that was the wrong size. (The car came with fun hack jobs with GM parts from the past). Is there a height adjustment?

thanks / b

Maybe someone put an incorrect brake master cylinder pushrod in there? You can likely get the correct one from someone here. I bet I have one. Also, they make adjustable ones (Mancini Racing, doctordiff.com, etc.).
