Jim:
Your 57 TR3 should not have the problematic restrictor valve. The problem is
in your pedal adjustment. The linkage has pushed the m/cyl piston too deep
into the bore and blocked the relief hole. The Bently manual shows a spec for
clearance between the stop bolt and the pedal, and ISTR .010", but whatever it
was I had to double it to cure the same problem on one of my cars.
