Yeah a shop rebuilt the master and wheel cylinders and still looses the pedal sometimes. I use direct gear in town which helps slow the car. When going down a hill I sometimes have to put a foot on either side of the pedal and pump back and forth. It's severe but she stops. The brakes are actually more reliable with the engine off an no power assist.

My friends say it's the treadle vac and to get the deluxe rebuild kit with the diaphragm.
