Ok, I think I know the answer, but due to age and injury I want to ask to concur. I do not use my 77 as much as I should. In 2014 I replaced all calipers and in March 16 I replaced the master/booster. Car stopped great till I didn't use it at all on road for 2 months till today. I was testing my charging system and on braking the car steering wheel is pulling to the left. My thought is to replace the front left caliper, bleed and change pads too. Or drive a few miles, stomp on brakes and see if it frees up. If someone says bleed system, it's as easy to replace caliper, in my physical situation.

A pull to the left means you need to address the caliper(s) on the right.

Did you also change the front rubber brake lines?

I've had the same problem if my Corvette was not used for a period of time. After driving for a while the brakes fixed themselves and the car would stop without pulling. The pads, lip sealed calipers, and rubber hoses are a few years old but there was no sign of any leaks.
Now I step on the brake pedal several times at least once a week and that seems to help avoid that pulling condition.

The brake lines are braided stainless. Stronger than rubber.

Are they new? The rubber on the inside can deteriorate and cause braking issues like you have experienced.

About 3 years with about 300 miles on them

They are probably fine since they are only 3 years old.

The car is telling you to drive me .i would bleed the brakes one time and check again.

I just replaced an over charging new alternator (warantee), both valve cover gaskets and the intake manifold gaskets. Now I am driving it a little more. It seems from using it, the pulling has lessened. I think I will re bleed the system as in May, I replaced the master and brake vacuum assy. Maybe it needs another bleed. Lots of mechanical work I have to do on this 77. I wanted to get a dual chrome bumper but I have so much repair and a solid frame on this car, I don't want to do it all over and find a bad bird cage.
At least the A/C works😝
