Papa is right. Valve on the later cars is still on the intake manifold coming from cylinder 4. Follow the brake booster hose from the booster to the engine and you will find the valve. Probably not the problem. The elbow on the booster will also twist and come off the booster. That might allow you to inspect the inside of the booster to see if the master cylinder is dumping brake fluid into the booster. If so....brake fluid will ruin the inner seals of the booster resulting in failure of the booster. Also check your booster hose. Do you hear a hissing that sounds like a cho cho train when you depress brake? Try to locate any sounds to determine location of your trouble.

Best Regards,
John M
