I'm not talking about where the pedal ends up, relative to the toe board, when depressed, but the suspendend, released height from the bottom of the floor - that is, the plane in which your heel would rest.
Packard's arrangment allowed the driver to shift their toe from one pedal to the other without lifting their heel from the floor.
Maybe your feet are shorter than mine, but it looks like I'd be pressing your Caprice pedal with the arch of my foot.
Admittedly, this implementation with the Caprice pedal/arm is an improvement over the brake pedal placement on your 55 Pat (as seen at the end of your Easamatic Power Brake Conversion page at your website). However, your friend Paul did a better job with pedal placement for his 56 Exec (as shown at the end of Paul's Power Brake Conversion) page at your website). You could learn a thing or two from him.
