Update to my question (above): I installed the wrong master cylinder on my car. I have a Bendix brake booster and I installed a rebuilt Moraine master cylinder (which is what was on the car). That is why I was having issues, and why the previous owner had brake problems! Off the auto parts store I go, to order the proper master cylinder!

UPDATE 7/12/08: I installed the Bendix master cylinder, but I still have the same issue. Actually, the booster pulls the brake pedal down when the engine is running whether there is a master cylinder attached to the booster or not. Also, the brake pedal has a "catch" at about 1/2 travel, which does not feel super-safe. Is it safe to assume my brake booster needs rebuilt? Who do forum members recommend tp rebuild the booster?
