Help! '69 Camaro factory brake setup

You probably have bad hoses or calipers. They are not expensive if you just want to back to stock replacements. You local auto parts store should have them for about $25 per caliper and $20 per hose. I couldn't see the porportioning valve or master cylinder being bad to cause this. And take all the lines loose and blow them out with at least 100 psi of air.

Can't find it right now, but someone used to offer a set of springs for the calipers that helped retract the pads for low drag.....

Pretty much like a door hinge spring inserted between the pads/caliper to push the pads back......

I'll keep looking to see if I can find the old link.
