Default Vacuum booster install ruby ragtop

Hi vette lovers, merry Christmas to all ! Here's a beauty, I just picked my car up from having a delco remanufactured vacuum booster installed, and upon leaving the shop I noticed that the brakes were super sensitive. I didn't give it much thought figuring i'd get used to it because the car stopped so well. About 2 miles down the road my brakes were dragging and just as I got into a parking lot where the front brakes only locked up. Breaking the bleeder on the front calipers let the brakes off to where I was able to get it onto a flat bed. Just wondering if any one out there has experienced an issue like this and what the remedy was while i'm hoping it's not the new booster ÷)

I experienced front caliper lock on my F100. New calipers fixed it.

Good luck.
