    So far so good aaron thanks for the advise I went ahead and pull the master cylinder and shaved off about 16th" and seems to be the culprit.I know ao my second post I said I pulled of the vacuum
    Atleast that's what I was told by a friend of mine that drove it for abit.anyways thanks again aaron.

    Okay took her for a long drive and seems like its still binding but not as much as before just a little bit.when I get some time tomorow ill probably shave some more off so my question is is there taking to much?I only took of 16th" and iam thinking I need maybe another 16th" will this be okay?

    So I ended up shaving another 16th maybe even more and its been good but today went for a long drive 60 miles and noticed pedal got hard and although it wasn't binding when I stopped and got off the car I still smell brake pads like i t was still touching a bit.anymore suggestions?should I shave more?it always starts out good with good pedal play and preasure but gets real hard after a long drive.

    Iam also upgrading to a rear disc kit also cpp at a local add here brandnew kit for $300.
    Will my current master cylinder and brake booster be okay?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like shaving the pin is helping. I would go another 1/32". If you change to a rear disc kit all you have to do is follow these instructions for the proportional valve:
