Default brakes not working on a 1997 Mustang

i've been helping a buddy of mine with a 97 mustang he just bought and weve run into a little problem. when we push the brakes they go straight to the floor. The resivior is filled with fluid, and it isnt leaking, does anyone have an idea what the problem could be.

the hydrovac or brake booster should hold air every time you brake. replace the master repair kit.

if a master repair kit ain't available then replace the hydrovac or master cylinder itself.

Is there air in the lines? You can do a gravity bleed......
