90's Imperials & me brakes

["Ivan Bruckman" <ivanbruckman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ya see, Matt, it's like this.  The booster motor(?) started making whirring sounds like it was resetting the pressure on the brake.  Soon, it did this more often and then every time I pressed the brake pedal.  One day about 3 weeks ago I stopped getting the whirring sound and the result were NO BRAKES!!!  Hard pedal that took a 600 lb man to apply the darned things.

 

My brake mechanic has never seen a setup like I have (I guess it's a Bendix10) and is unable to fix it.

 

So, the car sits and looks pretty.

 

Any ideas??
