I recently replaced the front disc brake calipers with new ones about four months ago, because the previous units were sticking badly. The car was converted to '73 - '76 A-body front discs and the master cylinder and proportioning valve from the donor car ('73 Dart Sport) in 2003. The last time, prior to this Spring, that the car had any miles put on it was 2011, so the brake calipers ended up sticking.
Replaced the calipers, bled the brakes and went off to drive the car. It ran and stopped great...for awhile. I went to drive it a couple of weekends ago, and the pedal felt weak and spongy. On a downhill driveway onto a public road, I damn near couldn't stop the car! The reservoir was full. The brakes felt like they had air in them, and the fronts once again feel sticky. I can find no leaks anywhere.
Any ideas???
