Mushy/No brakes!!

I fixed my flooding problem, so I was able to drive the car today. When I gassed it, then tried to slow down, the brakes where almost non existant! It was very hard to stop the car, the brake pedal went to the floor!!

I have a 214/224 in my 310, I was told a few times by TGO members that it shouldnt be too much of a problem, but it is a big problem.

Short of buying a vacuum canister, is there anything I can adjust to fix this, or help it in anyway? I have not checked my brake fluid in about 2 1/2 years (been rebuilding the car), that could be an issue.

anything I can try? Also, can you recommend a vacuum canister, or will any ol one work?

Thanks.

It's most likely going to be your brake fluid, if it isn't already low enough it's probably absorbed enough moisture to make the fluid almost entirely useless. I'd change all the fluid in your res. atleast, bleed the entire system if possible.
