Delayed Disc Brake Release
I’ll try to be brief…
1970 Dart, ABS Powerbrake (Orange, CA) front disc brake upgrade kit for the original 9” Drums, 5x4” pattern.
Issue; After braking to a stop, both front brakes are slow to release (3-5 seconds) after I release the pedal. If I jack up the front end and have my wife step on the brakes, I can’t turn the wheels for a few seconds.
Supporting info;
- system normally installed and bled-I did a similar upgrade on my ‘69 Barracuda (SSBC)
- I had to grind the stock spindles for caliper clearance, they slide freely
- new hard and soft brake lines
- new disc brake master cylinder without a residual pressure valve on the front discs
- proper/stock brake cylinder push rod
- no discoloration on the rotors or appearance of an overheat situation
- This happens to both wheels
ABS is no help, really, and the only thing I can suspect is the distribution block As it’s the only thing I haven’t checked. (I swear I replaced it with a combination‘proportioning vale and distribution block)
ideas?
Thank you,
