Ive been having some left side bias in my braking lately.
I have 10" inch disks from a 73 up front and 10" drums in the rear.
I replaced the front flex lines and that seemed to hide the problem temporarily but it's still doing it.

When the car is in the air their is no drag on any of the wheels. I don't know what else it could be besides a bad right caliper. Maybe something wrong with the back brakes? Haven't had much time to get it in the air and mess with different things so I figured Id get some ideas from you guys.

Ps car also wants to pull left slightly just driving, but I think my alignment is out of whack since I had my steering apart to drop the pan. I know there has to be a problem with the brakes though because it's so dramatic when braking.

Loose strut rod bushings will cause this. Worn out upper control arm bushings can cause this. Incorrect suspension alignment can cause this. Bent front suspension components can cause this. And yes a bad right side caliper can also cause this.

Does the car have any bump steer? Meaning when you go over rough uneven pavement does it have a mind of its own?

Could be your alignment too, if it's really off. I have also seen one old and one new brake hose side to side cause this.

Ill check my struts, the bushings are new polygraphites as well as the rest of the front end, and nothing is bent. So that basically leaves alignment or bad right caliper.

The car does like to follow the road on uneven surfaces, but I do have some decent tires gripping the road and a $#!+ manual steering box.

Contaminated pads, and under inflated tire as well.

If car is following uneven pavement you have some worn front end parts. Look at lower ball joint (less than 0.02â€￾ movement allowed in any direction), worn tie rod end, worn idler arm, and incorrect toe adjustment.

I bet that you have several problems that need correction contributing in some degree to poor handling, and brake pull.

A manual steering box is fine as long as it is not a worn-out flopping mess. Personally I prefer manual box on an A Body. If front end is tight, and aligned properly a manual box is a pleasure to drive with.

Unfortunately a bent component doesn't have to be visibly bent to have an effect on the alignment of the car. Since you are talking a pull during braking the bent part only has to change the toe angle of one wheel during suspension compression to cause a pull. There is a good section on charting toe patterns in the mopar chassis. The odds of finding an alignment shop willing to do this for you are very very small, but I believe mopar action has included a do it yourself at home techinique a couple of times over the years. Likely available in one of their "tech specials"

You mentioned a recent front end rebuild any chance you have the printout of the alignment specs and could post them for informational purposes.

Does the pull happen along with the steering wheel turning or does the car turn with the steering wheel held firmly in the straight ahead position?

Rusted brake lines can also cause this.

Inspect for a broken strut rod... they "snap" right behind the bushing area and can be difficult to spot, when the car is sitting static, on the ground.
(jack the front end up and let the front wheels unload / hang... then you will see it)
