82 brakes...aaaggghhh!
I've installed new callipers all the way around, new lines to the front, all new front end components, new brake fluid and have bled these numerous times.
The problem when I hit the brakes the car wants to dive left. not all the time, but sometimes at high speeds it can be quite unnerving. the only thing I havent done is change the master cylinder.
does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks Guys

I had same problem and I flushed the brake system out with new fluid using a pressure bleeder at each bleeder valve on all sides. Took care of the pull and now stops as it should.
Good Luck!

All new front end at the same time as brakes? Check that you've put the caster/camber shims in, and that they are in the same position as before the rebuild. You **DID** pull the shim packs out & tape 'em together, marking "Forward Left, Forward Right, Rearward Left, Rearward Right" didn't you?
