Re: Squishy brakes suddely!!
Did you use the correct length push rod? Hook the pushrod to the correct hole? If the pedal connection is positioned rearward or at a different angle the pushrod may not be working the MC until the very end of the stroke.

Re: Squishy brakes suddely!!
Did you hook up the vaccum line to the booster?
check that plastic connection for leaks

Re: Squishy brakes suddely!!
Yes I did im not as concerned with the boster as I am the master if the booster sh**s out the master should still work on its own but with a hard pedal. My pedal goes right to the floor almost no braking power lines have been bled several times maybe blown seals inside master? Idk

Re: Squishy brakes suddely!!
I've seen a post some where that your front brake lines get worn out and cause that condition, but it still doesn't explain why it would decide to crap out after you disconnected the booster and master. Just saying it's worth taking a look.

Re: Squishy brakes suddely!!
find any fluid between the master and the booster
or running down from the master/booster joint area
