have you checked for leaks?
is the area below your brake fluid reservoir wet?
have you had to add any brake fluid to the car?

i checked for leaks but havent seemed to find any
area below break reservoir is not wet
and i only had to add a little bit, when i brake it pulls to the passenger side

maybe a bad master cylinder or prop valve.

is it a rear drum set up? if it is i am throwing my guess as to bad wheel cylinders

it is pulls to he pass side it could mean leak in the driver side so the pass side is working and the driver isnt

im thinking its the prop valve since one side works and the other doesnt and neither side is leaking they compress but it doesnt seem like its compressing enough

Its more than likely not the prop, our brake systems are diagonally proportioned.

If it pulls, look into a stuck caliper. Also, I'd pull the front wheels and check the caliper slider pins.
