You can jack the car up and have someone press the brake pedal. See how much resistance on each wheel and if it is a lot different. It should be able to lock up each wheel. If you do not have any resistance, that wheel cylinder is bad. If they are all old, might be worth it to just replace them all. Also, how does the fluid look? Is it gold color, brown, black, or? Possibly if it is real dirty and old, could be clogged up. I think you said you changed all your soft lines? If not, possibly one is bulging when you apply brakes and are loosing pressure to that cylinder.

As said a pass side issue (it ain't doing any/enough braking force). front wheels off the ground tighten the adjusters till the wheel is locked solid then loosen till you hear a slight "tick" of contact in one point in the tires revolution as you spin the wheel forward by hand. do both LF/RF. If needed might need to do the rears also to get em all even but you wont be turning them forward by hand, idling in gear up on stands & need a helper to hit the brakes to stop it so you can spoon it some more then he releases & repeat till you hear the "tick".
