BRAKES ??????????
My brakes(91) lost all pedal the other day I mean all not spongy but just straight to he floor. I wasn't sure what happened but i had unhooked the brake booster line at the plenum a few weeks ago when i replaced the intake gaskets. So to rule out air just in case i bled the brakes today and the back ones looked fine but the fronts.... nothing , i mean nothing ever came out. does that idicate a bad master cylinder and not a bad booster or not necessarily??? also how hard is it to rebuild a master cylinder or should i just get a new one? thanks for the help!!!!

Master Cylinder, get a new one.
If thats the problem, this JUST now started? Usually it should have been noticable earlier if it was the MC.

Either the master cylinder is done for, you blew a brake line, or the hose ruptured. Either of these are pretty common. If you notice no fluid leaking, change the master cylinder with a new one, not a reman.
If your booster would've went bad, it would've taken you two feet on the brake pedal as hard as you can to get it to stop.
