So I took it for a ride today and the front brakes are dragging. Not sure what it could be, everything except the metal lines in the front are new. It had drums but I converted to single piston discs with a new MC/booster/prop valve specced for disc/drum. I have all new hardware in the rear as well, but definitely the fronts sticking after a short (2 mile) drive - and it appears to be both wheels as both fronts were really hot. Otherwise other than desperately needing an alignment, the car ran well, but not drive-able with the brakes dragging.
Any ideas on where to start there? It feels like something in the mc as there is zero softness at the top of the pedal - I checked the pushrod length and it's actually a tad short as my brake lights are staying on, so it's not that it's too long. I disconnected it from the pedal and it does not come out at all, but it's like the mc is staying pressurized somehow.
