My cold start up pressure is 80- 85 lbs when she roars to life. Same as when
I bought my 6 17 years ago. Hot 900 rpm idle is 20-25. I did the oil pump
blueprint a few years ago when I had the pan off to install steel sealing
block, fix a leak and clean out gunk at bottom of pan. Smoothing out the oil
pump body gave me 5-10 lbs at start-up. Other then that and new thrust
washers, no bottom end work by me. I use STP at every oil change, which is
every fall nowadays.
I think my pressure is quite acceptable, but not perfect. Power is very good.
Cheers, Bruce Simms

The vanishing brake fluid is likely to be leaking past your master cinder seals
and winding up inside your brake booster. If the booster seals haven't
failed (they wl eventually) the booster will fill to the point where the fluid
is sucked into the intake manifold through the brake booster vacuum line. Then
when the booster seals fail fluid will drip on to your shoe (and eat the paint
off if you are wearing sneakers).
You can buy a rebuilt booster or have it rebuilt by Brake Parts and Materials.
It doesn't cost much and they can replace the parts that arent available to
the general public.
Generally you are better off buying a new master cylinder. I can't get into
why shouldn't try to rebuild it yourself here. Try to get an original OEM
cylinder as the Asian aftermarket ones don't have a good track record.
Best of luck
