The upper hole is for manual brakes; the lower hole is for power brakes. Though all pedals have both holes, the pin is only in 1 hole. A manual brake car uses a small brake pedal pad, just like a manual transmission car.

The factory pin for power brakes is a different diameter than for power brakes. I don't recall which is larger or smaller, but figure the difference in diameter prevents the wrong hole from being used in the wrong application.

Here is a picture of a manual brake pedal that I may still have. The pedal came from an automatic car.

Thanks T5! I'm going to confirm I have the pin in the correct hole. Step one, lol.
