Todd,

I had a problem with my brakes locking up after a disc brake conversion. They would not lock up when the car was cold, but after everything warmed up they would lock up. My problem turned out to be not enough clearance between the master cylinder and the power brake booster. Go for a drive and when the brakes lock up, loosen up the mounting nuts on the master cylinder and see if the brake release. If they do, this may be your problem. I ended up shimming the master cylinder out some which solved my problem. Just thought I would bring this up in case it may be your problem as well.
