I'd be very interested in hearing some opinions on this problem.... My '55 Patrician that does not get driven very much has the same problem....(it also had a rebuilt BTV from Florida).......My very hard pedal seems to be a lack of vacuum boost.....I still have brakes IF I push the pedal very forcibly. However IF I let the car sit at idle for 10 to 15 minutes to warm up....the vacuum boost returns and is fine for the rest of the day..... any thoughts? PS...I check the fluid almost every time I start the car....and for the past 4 yrs I never seem to lose a drop....its always up where it should be....
