**just saw - no power brakes**

if you have power brakes - check the vacuum line from the booster to the rear of the carb. It might need replaced.

If it is that old - it may be collapsing on itself and taking the firm pedal with it.

I had this on my 70 LWB project. Rebuilt the brakes and then found it to be the vacuum line causing them to be soft.
