Gotta hate old car brakes!
I finally pulled the drums off the 70 SS to see what was causing the rear brakes to lock up so well and sure enough, tons of brake dust and all held together nicely with brake fluid(this is on the passenger side that was locking up). So I got a new wheel cylinder, cleaned everything up and put it back together only to have it still lock up under hard braking. So I grab some new brake shoes and another wheel cylinder and sure enough, the driver's side is in even worse condition. I just got done cleaning that side up but I'm too tired to finish the reassembly. They appear to be the original Delco Moraine wheel cylinders that started leaking 15-20 years ago! Hopefully it will be back together and stopping much better tomorrow.
