Hey all, sorry for the all caps heading, but i drove the 56 sunliner to meet a friend about 40 miles from home for dinner. When i got here, the brakes wouldnt release. Symptoms



Pedal very firm

Brake light on even with footoffbrake pedal

Pedal returned to normal height

Car can move but labors, obvious extra drag from partially engaged brakes



I tried stomping on the pedal a few times and moving the car back and forth to no avail



HOWEVER...once i shut the car off the pressure released and all is well.



The car has the factory power brake booster. Im wondering if its a bad vacuum check valve? If so, can i disconnect/plug the vacuum line and make it home (about 40 miles)? if i do that, im assuming i just wont have power brakes, but all else will work?



Or should i call for a tow truck now?



PLEASE HELP!



Ron



Or is it likely something else?
