Hi All,
I had been having trouble with too much travel on my brake pedal before the brakes would engage on my 70 240Z. After new pads, bleeding and no improvement, it was time to take them apart. What I discovered is that there is a plunger which goes from the brake boost into the Master Cylinder and it has an adjustment on the end. It is supposed to be adjusted out such that with the MB spacer plate on the booster the plunger sticks out 3.5 - 4.0 mm - mine was a cm too far in!! After making the necessary adjustment and putting it back together the brakes are fine...
