But I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here, and say that you didn't grab and install the separate vacuum reservoir tank and check valve that these early boosters need in order to work...

I was searching the web for a diagram but only found the bendix style. This setup is similar to my 56 Imperial so I think I can conjure up a fix and try it.

I know the guy that owned the rag and he drove it daily, but as I think on it, he’s a custom car painter and it is quite likely he drove it with the brakes like that and may be why he crashed it in the first place
