1988 corvette abs driving me nuts

OK,if anyone missed my other posts my drivers side front caliper locks up to the same tightness as the pressure applied to the pedal.In other words its not releasing the pressure.allready tryed new caliper and the flexable line.Im thinking now that it has to be the abs system and im wondering if any one has a pic of the pluming at the module.need to now which line is which.a pic of the guts of the thing might be helpful to .and again if anyone knows about this paticular problem please fill me in thanks ,karl

Something similar happened to me in my other vehicle (not a vette and not ABS). Both front calipers would lock but I think my passenger side was more prone to sticking. It would eventually release after a while. I replaced the master cylinder - problem fixed!

This may not be your problem but it worth exploring.

The ABS modulator is located in the drivers side rear compartment. Take out the tray and the padding and you will see the modulator. On the drivers side of the modulator you will see 3 hard lines, 2 on top and 1 on the bottom in the middle. The top forward hard line goes to the drivers side caliber, the rear facing hard line goes to the passenger side caliber, and the bottom middle hard line goes to the rear brakes.

I would think if it was the master both front brakes would have this prob but i dont know
I just keep thinking that the pressure behind the caliper leads back to the module.
