Brake pedal issues

Got a question guys.
When I get out of my 72 now, the brake pedal drops down enough that the brake light switch is engaged and the brake lights come on. Is there some kind of spring I need to replace or some kind of adjustment I need to make to the pedal to stop this from happening?

Is the switch adjusted out?

No idea. I don't even know where to begin to adjust it to.

It's pretty simple. Just look up under there by the pedal arm. It's threaded so you can screw it in or out. Sometimes they slip in the holder thing. I have had to thread a nut on to hold them from backing out.

Dan, Your pedal should not move running or not, I suspect you have master cly issues.
