Sounds like you fixed it. The brake pedal should have about 1/2" of free travel before it develops resistance. You might also look for a vacuum leak in the engine compartment brake booster feeder hose that is intermittent.

Lately we've been having a few warm days here in SoCal, and when I go out to my '84 to go home from work, the brake pedal is very high, like something is expanding. I bled the brake system a while back while replacing front rotors. Any Ideas
