Is there an adjustment spec for that switch? Looked ok to me. There was a lot of slack in the brake pedal bolt and the booster rod bolt, probably could move the pedal an inch sideways in both directions. I snugged them up and will test out again later this week.

Should the brake switch have two connectors attached?

Only if you have cruise control would you have 2 connectors on the brake switch.

The white one: Push on the brake pedal. Push the switch up tight against the pedal arm. Release the pedal arm. It will put the switch into the proper position.

Thanks, I'm also curious about the push rod attachment to the bolt, does the push rod rotate or is it fixed in that orientation? I'm just concerned the PO didn't put it in correctly since all the bolts were loose.

Yeah, where it attaches to the pedal, should that be reversed?
