Thanks so much everyone for your replies. It seems I've got some homework to do. 
I was planning on being lazy this weekend.....oh well.

To answer a few things, the unit is a new Clark's unit. I did specify 1964, so 
if the bore is too large, maybe they sent a wrong unit? 


Thanks again everyone.
Tony

The other question is, what master cylinder was used?  Corvair or
something else?  Having a master cylinder with the wrong piston size
might account for the need to use both feet.

Hi Tony,

It sounds like something is wrong - the dual m/c should feel just like
the single.  I would check the pushrod length and re-bleed the system.
