Price,
I assume pedal pressure (not pedal travel) is your question. 
When you replaced the master cylinder did you replace it with the same size 
(I.D.) as the one you took out? Also, is it the same size as the original MC 
size for a Phase 2 BJB? 
I would assume that you could test whether or not the servo is functioning by 
simply comparing the breaking pressure required with the vacuum line connected 
& disconnected. It would be a good idea to plug the line or fitting at the 
manifold when you disconnect it so that air is not sucked into the intake 
manifold during the test. If you do not notice any difference then the servo is 
not functioning.

There is nothing in the Bently manual about adjusting the pedal. My pedal has 
about 1/2" of movement before it engages. The pedal is solid when I press it so 
I believe the system has been bled correctly. 

The feed back I receive when engaging the brakes when the car is in motion is 
that the servo is not assisting. I don't understand, as the servo was just 
rebuilt and it worked fine until I switched out the master cylinder.
