1) In a static condition, my pedal is high and firm but with engine running and vacumn booster engaged it bottoms out more than half way down. Is this normal? Why? Can it be improved?

2) The manual is very specific about using a master cylinder with the same two letter code. What is the proper code? Where can it be found? I used a NAPA M2085. There is a stamped 29895-C on the body and what looks like a GL 5 near the made in USA stamp The L is located slightly below the G. I measured the indent for the booster rod at approximately 17mm or 42/64ths. Is this close enough? If not, what should it be?
