front disc brake drags 68 dodge discs

chris ok · 10-20-2009, 09:42 PM

friend has a 1968 dodge charger. put a conversion disc kit on it. stock replacement parts. front brakes drag heavy.
checked for residual pressure, none in system, just drips as it should.
all parts are new, tried 2 different calipers pairs, both drag.
car uses synthetic brake fluid.
was told to try rounded caliper piston o rings, has square style now.
any other ideas on these calipers?. thanks chris.

I know you checked for pressure but just to be sure I'd loosen master cyl. just to make sure that the
pushrod isn't applying brakes slightly I've seen that a few times.
