5-10 mph it will slow down.
10< the brakes have no affect in the speed.
Plug the master cylinder ( both holes) pedal is rock hard with car on and off.
Plug just the front brakes I have a hard pedal but if I take it out for a ride the bitch doesn't stop.
The rod between the master and booster isn't adjustable.
The rod between the booster and pedal have been adjust 10 times on each of the three holes.
I am so stumped and discouraged.

If you plugged both ports and the pedal is hard then the problem is not the master or booster, it's somewhere beyond that. You tried diving it with just the fronts plugged and it didn't stop which doesn't surprise me since the fronts do 70% of the work stopping the car. What happens if you plug just the rears? Just in case you don't know, the ports are reversed on that master, the front port should be plumbed to the rear brakes and the rear port should be to the fronts.
With all that being said, the first thing I would do is look at the rubber boot on the booster where it comes through the firewall, it needs to be centered in the hole, if it's not you need to either slot the firewall mounting bracket holes more or open up the hole in the firewall. If it's not centered the booster piston gets pinched between the rubber boot and the firewall hole and will result in either a lazy return of the pedal or the brakes are locked like you said you had before you started adjusting the rod. Once you are certain that the boot is centered then adjust the rod like Donnie suggested.
