Im not sure, the previous owner put it in before i got the car.
The car was stored for some time, if that helps.

What did you find out?

Ok sorry for the long wait, i havent been able to work on the car lately.
mjr46 you mentioned about the brake lines being clogged, would that be the brake lines or brake hoses??
Also i pulled one of the wheels and opened a bleeder, and it freed up the brakes a little bit.

I have had the same issue you are having now. It ended up being the caliper. My pony sat in a barn for a couple of years after I bought it. Anyways when i removed the caliper after only being able to compress the piston enough to remove, I peeled off the piston boot and found the piston to be severely rusty. If yours has sat for a wile it is possible that moisture got in your caliper and under the boot, then started to rust.
you mentioned it freed up a lil. Can you compress the piston all the way in? if so, you might try and see if you can get any fluid out of the line by having someone push the brake pedal wile you are at the wheel and the bleeder is open. let us know

Thanks 87foxstang, before i bought the car the owner told me it has been stored for most of its life, it was sitting in his garage.
I did do what you suggested and the brake freed up a lot more. what can it be??

87FoxStang

what did you do that let it free up a lot more? And were you able to compress the piston all the way into the caliper housing easily or was it really hard?

I opened a bleeder and had someone push the brakes, it freed up the brakes a lot more.
Before you would just turn the car on and the brakes would be stuck, now it takes like 20 minutes until you feel the brakes start to apply by themselves.
