thanks alot. I ordered the electric vacuum pump and will be here by sat so we will see what happens from there. I was hoping that someone else had a similar interest. But as for my luck I see this is not the case.

Are your brakes squishy? Does pumping them help you stop?

I have the same brakes, mine work very good, but I did notice the pedal was closer to the floor, I had to lengthen the pushrod that goes in the master cylinder, to do this you just need to remove the 2 bolts holding it on and pull it out of the way a inch or so, and use 2 pliers to turn the end of the pushrod. youll see what Im talking about when you move it out of the way.

I'm 100% sure this is your problem, because I have the same brakes and it did the same thing, this is what I did to fix it
