I'm assuming it is the large/small diaphragm type with the brake fluid going through it. Bonaldi and Benditalia being two manufacturers since that type is what was on the '67 GT I restored.
This wouldn't cause a wooden pedal, but if your brake fluid needs topping up a lot, then it is all in the large diaphragm. Has the GT sat for quite some time? And/or do the brakes lock up without touching the brake pedal? if it has sat for awhile or the brake fluid has not been changed for a long time, along with the wooden pedal, it is most likely the seal at the end of the diaphragm rod and the main housing. It's generally a bear to get out and that is after you've dismantled the booster. The only other thing I can think of is that the 'bearing' surfaces where the rod holding the brake pedal has tightened up. I'd say that is pretty far fetched if I hadn't had to ream out the brake pedal holes on a 750 Spider's pedal box just yesterday.
