Brakes problem
1971 Chevy Nova V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Have a 71 nova with disk brakes and drag is on the front wheel when you rolling. How do I make this stop and what could the problem be? I have tried to rotate them, change the breakline and change the calabers.

If you ADDED disc brakes you may have not changed the master cylinder and if it is drum brakes ther eis a check valve inside the master, so you will have to change that if you added brakes. If not put new brake hoses and rebuild the calipers and that should take care ofit. Also make sure that the calipers are free in the caliper bracket. Makesure the rust is gone so thy slide ok, don't grease them however as this will melt after a few miles.
