All of the above, sounds like the power booster, try plugging off the vacum hose to your booster, a 3/8" bolt usually works good and see how the pedal feels, don't drive like this it could be dangerous. Does the pedal feel the same with engine running as apposed to not, are you getting vacum to the power booster?

I had the same problem before first thing is check the fluid level.then check to see if the vacume line is connected to the brake booster it should go from the booster to the back of the carb make sure its not leaking air and if thats good get a friend to help you bleed the brakes pump it ten times and hold then open the bleeder till the pedal goes down then close the bleeder repeat for all 4 start with back passenger side then back driver side then front passenger then driver front if it still dont get better you might have to replace booster

The 7" booster is great, and a better choice to get a little more engine clearance. I would get it.
