Hi Obyray, I had the same problem with the brakes on my 66 bird. When I had finnaly got the new engine and trans in the car the brakes worked pretty good. I decided to replace the complete brake system, including the booster. The original booster had the 2 halfs together crimp style. The replacement was a band style. The parts man said the worked the same but when I put it on the pedal would not return and brakes draged until I lifted the pedal with my foot. Went nuts try to figure what I had done wrong. Everything looked good. I had kept the original booster just incase. So I put it back in and the brake pedal worked fine. Had the proper one ordered, put it in and every thing is fine. Don't know if yours is the same thing but it sure does sound like it.
Take care. Steve
