Vacuum leak - pumping brakes keeps motor running

Jumping in here to keep the 1980SD 116 thread alive.... I have had a slightly longer shutoff sometimes but not other times and have not mailed it down yet. The other night while turning off the key i starting pumping the brakes 4 or 5 times (to see what would happen given it's part of the vac system) which kept the engine going for an additional 20 - 30 seconds. Have not had the time to investigate further but now more concerned.

Anyone else experience a similar issue? Today the client control would not shutoff until i rotated the temp dial until it was at max cool (AC not working, but that's another thread), pushing the OFF button had no effect. Previously there was a delay in pushing the OFF button and the system turning off, probably 3 - 6 seconds.
