Brake problem 74
Before i purchased our 74, i pushed the brake pedal to the floor & now in wont return naturally.
I had to remove a rear caliper to unstick it. I tried to bleed it again but this doesn't seem to work. I'me hoping to fire the engine in a couple of weeks, could this simply be a vacuume problem? Or has the diaphragm in the booster collapsed? I cant bleed the system because the pedal wont return. Anyone please?

Vacuum brake booster's weren't installed as original equipment until 1977. You likely have a master cylinder problem and the rubber sections of the lines to the wheels, if original may be causing problems by preventing return of the brake fluid. Lines and MC may warrant replacing if the car sat for a long while.
