I have put around 120 miles on my '66 300 since my conversion everything new including the hose lines. After the first 50 or so the left side hung up and got really hot. I pulled over waited 5 minutes drove home no other problems with the left side since. I then was out for a cruise and and this time about 30 miles in the same thing happened but to the right side. I was near home so just parked it.
I had left the clips off shown in the picture, so today I installed them. I drove about 30 miles in 10 miles chunks today, at the end on the 20 miles the right side again started dragging a bit. I jacked it up and the right wheel was hard to turn, let it cool drove another 10 miles and the right side overheated again.
One addition tidbit, I had my distribution block all screwed up initially. Only the right side was working and I was hitting my brakes pretty hard during a couple of test drives, could I have damaged the right hose?
I have Raybestos calipers I ordered on-line. Everything else I ordered from Auto Zone including Duralast pads and hoses. I can pick up a Duralast caliper for $30 from AutoZone, or should I pick up a new hose first and replace it.
It stops perfectly and very responsive, no air in the lines, excellent pedal feel, otherwise.
