This happened to me on my '71. Evidently the front of the master
cylinder leaked into the booster.  All was ok for awhile, then
the engine would die when I stepped on the brake. Seems the
brake fluid ate through the diaphragm, creating a massive vacuum
leak when the brake was applied.......NOT CHEAP!
