If the fluid shoots up when you step on the brakes, you have air in the system.

When putting these together I noticed the pushrod but no adjusting screw, is there any pictures showing where this is. Sorry for being stupid on this it is my first time dealing with mc & boosters.

Hmmm... the end of the pushrod that goes against the master cylinder should be able to thread in and out.

How'd you adjust the pushrod? If I remember right, you need some sorta cardboard gauge from Ford.

He can make a gauge out of cardboard.The width needs to be cut to the size of the span between the studs and the make a cutout to the depth posted above.Adjust the head on the plunger to just touch the top of the cut out.Needs to be done with plunger pushed into the booster.
