Kirk;
I had a similar problem many years ago with a Firebird. Brakes worked fine,
but if I let up just a bit while stopped, the pedel would go to the floor.
Replaced the M/C and the problem went away. That's where I'd look.

Subject: LBC Support Vehicle Brakes Failing
This really doesn't have to do with my LBC, but it is the LBC Support
vehicle!
My problem is with a 79 Ford E350 Van with power brakes. The
symptoms are sometimes i can push the brake pedal all the way to the
floor. If I pump it another time, it will hold. Other times if I am
stopped at a light, and i relax the pressure a bit, it will sink all
the way to the floor. I have checked the fluid level and it is fine.
All the way to the top. I guess that eliminates leaks in the system.
I'm not familiar with power brakes. Could it be due to the "Power"
part somewhere?
Thanks In Advance,
