The car made it home fine, I'll diagnose it tomorrow.

My dad is on his way south from MN and is in Kiesper, IA and is having
vacuum issues. He has weak brakes, the car takes a long time to shut
off, and the door locks don't move very quickly. He does not have a
vacuum gauge. He is going to find an adjustable wrench to remove the
hose from the brake booster and see if it's booster related or pump
related. Are there any of you IA folks that might be able to assist?
He thinks the car will make it south without repairs, if he drives
slower and keeps long following distances. TIA all.
(blah, I just had a thought and I'm having him try shutting off the
car with his foot on the brake. Would this point at the booster, or
not? i.e. if the car shuts off like normal, the booster is at fault)
