I have been involved in a project for too long now. jeep basket case one problem after another. Trying to do the brakes not only does the master cylinder not fit but now I find the pushrod is way short. - that is what I assume. the brake pedal sits way down by the engine block before it does anything which leads me to believe that there is a difference in brake pushrod lengths especially considering two listings in descriptions for pushrods. Am I correct?
Willys Tech:
Yes, there is a small difference in push rods from vehicle to vehicle model. That is why we list different ones. CJ-2A did you two different style master cylinders (805223 or A556) and two different push rods (647606 or A183) from what you've written above sounds like that is what you have.
