When ever I depress the brake on my 72 Roadrunner I have to put my foot under the pedal and pull it up It's not much 1/2" or less or the brakes drag. Is there a adjustment to correct this problem. Thank You

If you have to pull the pedal up and it is free moving then you have other problems. Th pedal return should be caused by the master cylinder. If the master doesn't push the pdeal back then it's probably bad if the brakes drag as you say. Is this a manual or power brake car? Have you tried lubing the pedal pivot points?

Just posted the same problem with my dart. Ok 3 years ago, now replaced some parts and ready to go cruising and now this issue, always something I guess.

Had the same problem on my charger with manual brakes.I do not drive it often enough and the piston was corroding up in the bore and would not let it return all the way.Put a new one on and it is fine now.
