Dale,

Check/replace the rubber "flex" brake lines that go to the calipers.  Not
quite sure of the physics behind it, but they do "swell shut" or collapse
when they get real old.  I had the same problem on my 66 spit.  New brake
lines fixed the problem.

I drove the car hoping things would 'settle in' but the rt. front heated up
and locked again.
