Answer
Hi Bob,

When you press the brake pedal once and the brakes are low, or not there; then release the pedal and press again, and the brakes are good; this is tell tale master cylinder.  

You need a master cylinder.  MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU PUT THIS ON THE CAR, YOU BENCH BLEED IT!!!  More times I hear how the new master cylinder is spongy.  Most people don't bench bleed it.  It is so simple to do.  

Your car should have 4 wheel disc.  You need to bleed the brakes in this order.  Passenger rear, then Driver front.  Then driver rear, and lastly passanger front.  You kriss-kross on all wheel disc.

Good luck
