That's from rest to the end of the rod to the end of the master cylinder 
(before it starts to apply the brakes).

Not sure what you mean here. There should be an 1/8th inch of play, but it's 
from the end of the rod to the end of the master cylinder. I think Dave Hall 
or Jim mentioned there should be something close to 3 inches from the pedal to 
the toe panel, so that you have enough stroke to apply the brakes. You never, 
ever adjust the rod to get the clearance, always adjust thepedal stop to get 
the clearance.
