cpp brake issue

so i did the swap to disc brakes on my 64. wanted to go a little lower and stop a little bit better. so i made the call to the cpp guys. they set me up with all the stuff to get it done. im finished now and for some reason my front brakes drag like crazy. ive bled all around there is definitely no air in the system. the master cylinder was bench bled. i dont know what to check next. can yall help?

Re: cpp brake issue

CPP proportioning valve is a known POS, just wait a few weeks and it will start leaking too.

Re: cpp brake issue

Based upon your description, I would also have to suspect the proportioning valve. I to had a CPP system it lasted about three months before the valve failed.
