I had the same problem with Pontiac Firebird and the rod was improperly 
adjusted. Brakes are definitely universal.

After pondering the problem for a couple of days,Best Guess.The rod that 
pushes the piston in the master cyl is adjusted too long.About 1 or 1& 1/2 
tunes I would think.This causes the breaks to drag And build heat  The hard 
pedal is the clue. Had it happen on a 36 Ford (converted to Hydrouc)  First 
trip out of the shop ( San Ffan  to Sac ) The breaks would come on and stop 
the little Flat  Head  . Pulled in to every Gas  Station  along the way and 
cooled the master with water and made Adjustment .Had to Get to Work by 
Morning ,or face the Brig (Air Force) .Someone reported me to the Hwy Patrol 
because of the Strange Behavor.They threatened to impound the car ( I had 
converted it from A hard top to the street and there were issues) The next 
day after work one more turn solved the problem. But I learned how to talk 
to Cops .They even helped me push start it to get me on my way. About year 
1957.  Jim     McMullan 300 F   It wasn't a 300 but brakes is brakes.
