Do this, with engine off, apply brakes 4 or 5 times, (on-off-on-off--etc.). Now apply and hold brakes, if pedal "fades" away towards floor boards, replace master cylinder, it's by-passing internally. If pedal holds firm, then, still holding brakes on, start engine. Pedal should drop to a lower point, then hold firm, this is a test for your booster. I think your problem is the master cylinder, however.
