Hi if if fluid in lines expands it simply backs into master cylinder on non ram j/k drum brakes --even with a residual pressure valve , it cannot hold the brakes to drum ? is there a residual pressure valve in these non ram stock ? Also issue of hydrovac on ram cars . If a master "for a 300"-- the common one --w residual pressure is used as the master drive to hydrovac it will actuate the hydrovac by itself leading to locking . Probably caused by expansion in connecting line. That might be happening if this is a ram car. I believe with hydrovac you have to have a special no residual valve master or remove it. Same thing happens on non ram when you take foot off brakes. It runs back in, non ram. If it locks up on touching that has to be a booster engagement problem, as there is simply no way to generate enough psi to lock brakes unless booster is active. Over active .
I agree given two instances --high temp must cause it , but somehow by impacting booster or on non ram the trigger adjustment. Perhaps heat impacts an adjustment that is very critical and not set correctly ?? as I understand it they say in FSM not to ever touch the trigger adjustment. To many that is a blank invite to go right at it . As by definition, they know far more than FSM and guys who designed it . If ram car, might have the wrong master .
Not running well on hot days w j manifolds almost says too much carb heat getting up there . On highway even more gas flow under carb would still keep carb too hot . On hot day . George used to restrict that flow , thin metal plate in elbow , Don Cole did too . Don had a very fast K , blocked heat . He might chime in .
