    Default Dragging brakes

    I had the same problem on my 33 Ford 3w coupe. I replaced the vacuum booster twice and still had the problem. These were low cost boosters from a popular hot rod supply house. I then bought an expensive double diaphragm booster and have not any more problem. Lesson learned----Do not go cheap on brakes.
