Default Brakes pull on the Vette

64 with 4 wheel drums. All brakes are good with no leakage. Can't be rocket science,right? My tech says they need adjusted.

No it's not rocket science and adjusting the fronts would be where I would start. 64, may have self-adjusters, don't know when they started using them. Put it in reverse hit the gas then slam on the brakes, like lock them up. Try that several times first, if the adjuster's aren't frozen up that may do it. Otherwise try adjusting them.

The adjusters could be frozen, or it could have been driven very little and not backed up very often; I'd go over everything just to be sure and to have some peace of mind. Let us know, ok?

Gary, have your tech perform a thorough inspection of the entire braking system. Whatever the problem is, if he is any good, he'll find it.
