Default Brake issues on my 87

Just "inherited" this from my Dad. It pulls to the left when you hit the brakes. After a quick drive. drivers front rotor. 150 deg. passenger rotor if twice that. both rear are around 115. I've replaced all rotors, pads, hoses, and front calipers. The car does the same thing. .No abs light. can unplug it. light comes on. car has same issue with it plugged in or not. you can smell the brakes. like the one side is dragging. all hardware was also replaced and slides lubed.

Someone had a similar issue on this forum and it turned out to be a bent spindle.

car has basically sat for last 5 years. I'm thinking its the abs module. Car track strait. when I took pads off. you could tell that side is dragging. Going to bypass the abs and see.
