Post subject:  Brakes Locking

I have a weird issue on my 69 Baja, I installed Giha disks up front a couple years ago, the only issue I had then was getting a good pedal. I went through 3 Master cylinders from Auto zone and Advanced auto before they were good. I store it over the winter and this year when I first drove it the front brakes locked up and wouldn't release. I stopped in a parking lot and cracked the front left bleeder and got about 2 drops of fluid out. The brakes released and were fine for about a month then they did it again. I was at home this time and jacked it up to find both front brakes locked up. I cracked the left bleeder again and both released. I put on all new parts when I put this together. Any ideas where to look? I don't think its the rubber lines means both sides lock. I don't get but a couple of dribbles out of the bleeder when i crack it but the brake lights are on showing pressure in the system and the calipers are clamped. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

What master cylinder are you using? If I were a betting man I would say the piston in the master cylinder is froze up. Look at getting a different pedal assembly and shit can what you have.
