Ok, on my way home I was going over these suggestions & trying to think of everything that affects the brakes. I thought about what the symptoms are when each part actually fails & it dawned on me that lately when I hit the brake pedal I hear a funny noise. So I started pumping the brakes to see how they felt & then killed the motor & pumped them again . . .... guess what . . . ... no difference @ all! I checked & all vacuum lines are hooked up to the booster & in good shape so now @ least I know the booster is bad.

I guess between driving my 74 w/pwr steering & brakes I got into the 68 w/o pwr steering & it felt like it did before the brake upgrade so I didn't notice.

71Chev, no I didn't know they could be reset. I'll give that a try as well if the pwr booster doesn't fix it.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
