Brakes



Here is a puzzler for all you gear heads...
I converted my 65 Coronet 2 dr post to front disc brakes.
I used the spindles from a 78 Aspen.
I installed the matching booster and master cylinder also.
Took the car for a shake down run and after 1/2 half block the brakes started dragging.
Could the rod from the brake pedal bee too long and keeping the booster activated?
It's as if the calipers are not releasing.
Calipers are new and the rubber lines are new also.
Has me stumped.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Sold my spindles for my drum brakes or I would re install them.
It's not going to be a daily driver so why did I convert to disc brakes any way.  \

I sure would like to drive a few miles this year and it's getting frustrating as hell to fix one problem and then have another pop up.
