[DML] Brake question

["byrondelorean" <celiambyron@xxxxxxx>]

Dear forum members, when I step on the brake pedal, it feels as thou 
the pedal has too much play before making contact with the brakes. 
Maybe 4"-5". The brakes do not feel different when I pump them. 
I brought it to a nearby brake shop; but am leary to have them touch 
the car. I get the confused look; and my feeling is to just drive 
away. 
Dave Bauerle recently worked on the car and suggested it may be the 
master cylinder. I would like to get this fixed in a suburb Detroit 
area. Is there a formal way of explaining whats going on with my 
brakes with a local brake shop? The last shop said " I don't know what 
the pedal is supposed to feel like". Could it be more than just the 
master cylinder, maybe the brake power booster? 
If both items need to be replaced, should I order every gasket and 
connection piece associated for the removal & installation?

Thanks for the help.

Byron
