It's running great for a few blocks until the brakes lock up. I didn't make the PCH trip to Pleasanton. I put it back together and still had the problem and threw in the towel. To many other things to deal with to give it a 3rd try. She's sitting in my new shop waiting for some love. May be a while. It was 110 yesterday so it's not exactly prime season around here.

Doesn't sound like your brakes wanna cooperate with you huh man? Guess I should of drug you out to party when I was in town and you could of let off some steam
No, and I'm not sure why. The piston rod seems plenty sloppy between the cyinder piston and retaining washer. Plenty of space between the pedal arm and brake switch bracket. I'm going to change out the rod to a plain pushrod that goes in the center.
Good luck dragging me down to the strip for an all nighter. Those days are behind me. and I don't miss them much. I'd rather sit on my patio and drink to my hearts content and crawl into bed.

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.
