My brakes are f'd up?Screws w/engine idle somehow


The other day i accidently retarded my timing and i got my grandpa to stick his timing light to it and fix it.I think it still needs to be advanced a few degrees more but it runs fair right now.But this morning my brakes were hard to push and made a really airy sound.When its in park and i push and hold the brake in the engine starts to stumble and i was like wtf! Someone please help me!

sounds to me like your having a problem with the brake power booster. going by your description, i'd say it is the bad part.

I'm with Zippy, bad booster.

Disconnect it and see if the problem goes away {make sure to plug the hose to the engine )
