As posted there are two pushrods.
Brake Pedal Push bar
Brake Booster master cylinder pushrod #4
The booster pushrod is adjustable on some replacement boosters. Replacement boosters have been causing the front brakes to drag, because the pushrod is too long.

Good luck

The last entry in that post is in 2012. Airtec makes a new booster that I don’t believe has that spacer washer. All I did when I installed mine was measure how far the pushrod protruded from the face of my old booster and adjusted the actuator on the new one to protrude the same amount. As I recall 7mm and 8mm wrenches are needed. Works fine.
