I have retraced my steps ... I jacked her up and spread the brake calipers.. I don't know how that could affect the booster but somehow it did.
I repacked the bearings and got in and noticed weak pedal at first. I started it up and drove around the block and pumped the pedal and I got that hard pedal feel and have to exhort great pressure to stop! I never had the hood opened during the whole bearing pack scenario...
Remember this car has only 3 vac lines in operation, vac locks are not an issue.... the main line from teh vac pump to the booster and the 2 brown operating the IP shutoff... the shutoff and booster were never a problem and worked flawlessyly unit I spread those calipers..which was mmaybe 1/8" at the most.. no brake fluid came ouot of teh master.

I do appreciate the continued help btw.. keep the questions coming.
