I think youre saying you have a low pedal? Check all brakes especially the rears, sounds like they are worn and out of adjustment, and maybe a bad wheel cylinder, if they are drum in back. How is the fluid level in the master? Add only DOT 3 brake fluid...If they are drums in back, apply the parking brake, does the pedal hieght get better?
