Not sure what the problem is. Dan I can't move the rod to the other hole. The angle would be way off, and really impossible to do. They are not repro's. I'm sure of that. They looked like they were 40 yrs old when I bought them. I can thread the rod farther down the rod coming from the booster, and lower the pedal, but then the brake light switch wouldn't reach the pedal. There's not much room in a Nova to move around. I'll have to pull the seat out and see if I can adjust the rod some more.....or maybe have a foot reduction??
