I am installing an adjuster this week on CSX 3170, I plan on coming straight up behind the brake pedal with the cable and then mounting the adjuster on the bottom of the dash flange near the horn button (in my case the starter) so I can reach it with belts on.
I did a test this weekend and it will go from locking the fronts only to locking the rears only in 1 full turn of the adjuster. Years ago I made up about 10 different bias bars with the center pedal hole shifted in .020" increments. The original set up had way too much front bias so I kept changing bars until the car had a fairly aggressive stop.
Later on I had to change bars to accommodate smaller diameter fronts and different pad
combinations it was a real P.I.T.A to change because you had to do it from the top under the dash. It really does help stopping distances when it is perfect, having cockpit adjustable bias is nice because it is so easy to set.
