Installed a new master cylinder,and booster, on a '72,brakes seemed to work fine for about 20 miles,(Pedal may have been a little stiff,) Now, both front discs brakes are dragging. I first replaced the drivers side caliper, no change. Tried unbolting the master cylinder from the booster, no change. Unbolted the hose coming into the caliper, it drips fuid, but the rotor is still hard to turn. I was going to replace the incoming caliper hose, but since they both started doing it at the same time, this may not be my problem. Any suggestions? :(

I'm attempting to solve the same issue with my Chevelle. I'm hoping that the rod from the pedal to the booster is adjusted too long......I'm curious....where did you purchase your brake components? Most everything on mine is In Line Tube except for the calipers and rotors. I got them from NAPA...calipers are rman 70 Monte Carlo.
