'57 Brake Problem

[ahogangoat@xxxxxxxxxxx]

On my '57 the brake pedal has resistance to quick depression. A panic stop 
isn't 
possible.  Once the shoes come in contact the action is normal and pedal feel 
is 
normal.  If the adjustent of the brakes is such that some pedal travel is 
necessary then this resistance is really noticable.  I have been told that the 
cause is the booster.  No vacuum leak or idle problem exists.  As I said, the 
boost seems ok once the pedal has travled enought to take up the "free travel" 
and the brakes contact.

Any ideas?
Just change the booster and see what happens?
