    Hi Guys: I have a problem with my power drum brakes on72 Slylark. When I start the car the petal is low. As I drive about 2 blks the brakes start to work better. As I drive, the brakes work better and better until I feel they are normal. Drums are good,shoes show hardly any wear. adjustment is correct. I would like to change to disks but I feel this problem should be solved before I venture into disk brake land. I have checked power booster by holding petal to the floor and feel it go lower when motor starts. Something I have thought of is: I am running TA 413 cam and maybe vacuum is not enough to operate power. Had this motor in about 3yrs now and never noticed this much problem. Give me some advice. Ken
