I agree. It is either the booster itself or the hose going to it. It is
definately vacume related as it idles very rough. At least the E-brake
works...hope the spare booster is good, if not there is a place locally that
rebuilds them for $50. I'll do asearch on the Samba...seems to me they were in
Mesquite - can't be any more convenient

sounds like the booster. Either that or don't drive more than 5mph

Hmmm. Well the pedal feels the way it should, the travel distance and the
resistance all seem to be perfect. It's just that last part where the pedal
won't move any further and I feel the pedal hit like a hard surface and won't
go any further. If I am going only 5 miles an hour it stops but the faster I go
the longer it takes to stop...

Depends on the part. Cheepo Masters can fail quickly. If the pedal is hard to
push, I'd suspect the booster
otherwise the master cylinder.
