I am trying to digest everything with the car, looking it over again and again, to take it all in, before I decide what needs doing and what can wait.
I think the vacuum brake booster is leaking, as you have to pump the brakes a few times to build up pressure so the brakes will stop. I am thinking of eliminating the booster and eventually go to the Datsun M/C that has been used by people on here. It would clean up some space under the hood too.
The are a couple hoses under the hood I am trying to figure out as well. There is one that comes off the carb that isn't hooked up to anything, it is just sitting there. The other is a braided hose that comes off the upper water outlet. It runs into where the heater core is located, but there isn't another hose coming out the other side, so I am not sure what that is about. If I could figure out how to downsize a photo, I'd post it to see if anyone had any suggestions.

One way to deal with photo size is to adjust the camera to 640 x 480, and snap away. Another is to mail the photo to yourself... many mail programs shrink it automagically. There are also many free-ish programs to do it, for Mac, Windows, or Linux. Folks who use them will likely chime in with their favorites. Are you Mac, Windows, or Linux?
Scott, use photobucket. Set up an account (its free) park your photos there and use a link in your post. Its all free, easy (even I can do it) and magic. The standard photobucket pistures are huge, but it is easy downsize them in Phtotobucket. Only one problem, once downsized, a photo is always downsized. I think that now it is possible to store a photo several times, each a different size.

Before you ditch the booster, you might want to just bleed the system. In my experience, the need to pump the brakes is usually just a sign of air in the system. I have never had a booster leak, just fail suddenly. When that happens, you know it because you get a puff of blue smoke out the exhaust and then no brakes.
