Well, if the pedal goes to the floor, then you have a ton of air, or a large leak.


Would help to know what mustang this is....this your 2000gt? Or a fox?

With the car off...pump the pedal. Does it firm up?

Do you have any leaks?

firms up good and no leaks at all. if you pump it while your driving it firms up some but not for long

Based on that, I'd suggest a faulty master cylinder. But I would pull the drums and check the wheel cylinders for leaks first
