Brakes

I have a 1st gen. 1979. The right front brake only is locking up. Canged everything from the caliper to the master cylinder. Still locking. I can bleed it at the master and it works well for a little while. Is there any way to find out if I bought a bad master.

Gee Lee, I thought this was an automotive help forum, not Thieves-R-Us.

Sounds like the cup for the left front brake, inside the master cylinder is bypassing fluid. If the brake lines to the left front isn't blocked, time for a new master. Be sure to bench bleed before install.
