If your power brake booster (the large roundish metal thing that the master cylinder is bolted to) either fails or loses its source for vacuum then your brake pedal will become very difficult to push like if you have manual brakes.

It may have either manual or power. I am not sure if the factory put them on but I have seen them with power brakes. To tell if you have MANUAL brakes look for the master cylinder ( this is where you add brake fluid ) and see if it is attached to the firewall directly. if the master cylinder mounts to a some what large round unit with a large black approx. 1/2 " diameter vacuum hose attached to it it is POWER brakes.

The stock manual brakes are very effective. Some people upgrade them to a power brake system, which is fairly easy to do, but I am very comfortable with the stock brakes on my 1960 Ford Falcon 4-door. It is my daily driver and I put at least 40 miles on it daily.
