yes the pedal went down in the begining. they started with the master cylinder. the brakes apply when depressed and pedal slowly goes to floor

Checking break pedal reserve engine idling pump pedal 3-4 times the off pedal wait 15 sec. now apply brake pedal untill it stops. now raise engine RPMS to 2000 then release accelerator as engine returns to idle brake pedal should move downward. if not check vacuum pump
