when you say good pedal, bad pedal are you referring to the actual pedal travel or good pedal feel sitting and no stopping when you go?

How's the brake adjustments? Very important, esp on drum brakes on 4 corners of that car.

Well, normally the loose adjustment scenario will have pedal come up after a few pumps of pedal, then stay high-solid. Next time you first apply brakes, it may be low again. Wondering if you have a master issue...
