Easy to diagnose : when the brake are dragging open a bleeder valve on each axle ~ of brake fluid spurts out and the brakes release, check the M/C push rod before anything else .

I know that the push rod is not supposed to be adjustable on the grilling original brake boosters but what caught my eye during installation is this new booster I bought from Cardone had a pushrod with threads.
Are these new boosters "adjustable" and what should the adjustment be? I really don't want to do a trial and error of removing the master cylinder, adjust the pushrod, replace the master cylinder, go for a drive, and repeat.
How far out should the pushrod be?
