RE: IML: 1962 Imperial down with Power Brake Booster problem, Help

["Isenhour" <isenhour@xxxxxxxx>]

I noticed in addition to no brakes a vacuum leak sound coming from the dash
area.  When you can't hold a pedal it's usually the booster, the master cyl.
Or a busted line to the wheels.

    Brake pedal like a rock, need both feet to stop the car, if you can stop

it.
    A lesser case of failure is characterized by higher than normal brake 
effort, accompanied by a hissing noise.
