Dick,

Check this link out:

to_13.html

It's a cutaway from a typical 1960s Mustang.   Hit 'next' to see three more 
good close-up diagrams of the booster in action.   The associated article 
is a very basic primer of how automotive brake systems work.

It strikes me as being very possible that you could have a vacuum leak in 
your booster which manifests itself as strange running in the engine.

Mike
