    Brakes seizing/sticking

    Just finished getting my m50 swap back together and though I solved all my problems but now I am having trouble with my brakes. Took old calipers off and replaced with known good ones and I am still getting same symptoms. I can drive around for about 2 miles before the brakes start to seize up and the car will barely move. I blew air through the soft lines so I know they are clear and the system bled fine. I am in desperate need of some help so I can get it back on the road and enjoy the new engine.

    That is most LIKELY a messed up guide bushing.

      make sure vac booster shaft, connected to the brake petal, (under dash) is not to tight and not allowing the MS to retract fully. adjust rod/clevis until there is a touch of free play and try it out.

        Guide bushings is only on ATE calipers, right? I have girlings and I believe those are just a guide pin setup.

        I just checked my brake pedal and it doesn't seem to have any play at all so I will definitely give this a try. I think the push rod is adjusted too long right now.
