Brake pedal return spring or booster problem?
I have a '61 T-Bird that I have to hold the brake pedal up with my toe (or a bungie, as I have it right now) to keep it from depressing and "riding" the brakes. I haven't found a return spring on the pedal, so is it inside the bore of the master cylinder, then? Or is this a booster problem? The car has power drums all around and the pedal is OK when the engine isn't running. There aren't any vac leaks or anything that I can tell; the engine runs fine. I can't seem to find a pedal spring anywhere, is there one or does it depend on booster vacuum?
Thanks! Darel

The return spring is in the booster. You might ck. to be sure you don't have something binding to prevent the return action.
