I was thinking internal by pass in the master cylinder but no kits seem to be available....

This is / was a popular car so I imagine someone has heard about this problem before .
The master cylinder piston cups are torn internally, a rebuilt cylinder is about 60 or 100 dollars from a parts shop.

I repaired a chevy W body once with this same problem, I just removed the cylinder from the booster and took it apart, the problem was junk in it from never flushing it. The bore was ok so I put it back and it was A OK after that.
