No brakes on 71 Imp



I just replaced the booster on my 73 Imp with a 
rebuilt unit.  My pedal was very hard and I could hear
a slight hissing from under the dash.  I believe a
bleed problem like air in the lines would cause the
pedal to be mushy as would a bad master cylinder,
wheel cylinder and busted brake line.  If one of your
lines is collapsed or the proportioning valve is bad
(I was told it is possible) you will also get a hard
pedal.  I learned not to purchase my booster from
autozone as the one I bought from them was as bad as
the one I was replacing.  The rebuilt unit cost me
$100 and has worked great for the past couple of
weeks.
