Firewall below master cylinder is missing paint so I know they had trouble since the last repaint, hard to tell what they did to it.
A high pedal is characteristic of manual brakes from those days. The same car with power brakes would likely have a lower pedal height. A leaking master cylinder would explain the missing paint, again, very common.
