Brian, have you checked/changed the old rubber lines front and rear? As they
age, they can swell and allow high (pedal) pressure through, but not low
pressure back. I replaced all of mine with teflon-lined SS ones.

Greeting List,
Shortly after buying my 79 a couple years ago I discovered the brakes,
front and rear, would hang up. After 20-30 minutes they would release.
The PO put new wheel cylinders on the rear, so I left them alone. Next I
pulled the calipers and rebuilt them. To be sure they worked the master
cylinder was replaced with a new one.
So I got everything back together and tested- fronts and rears would stop
all wheels and release immediately. That was a couple weeks ago.
Yesterday I realized the front calipers won't release.
Any ideas why? I'd rather drive the car with working brakes.
Thanks all!
Bri
