brake ?

Alright I got a problem with the front brakes on my 67. I switched it to 5 lug discs up front when I was building it and used all new or reman parts. My left front caliper seized last thursday and heated my rotor pretty good but didn't hurt it or the pads. I replaced the caliper today with another reman from a different parts store, ( I got into it with the butt pirates at O'Reilly's wouldn't warranty my caliper with less than 2000 miles on it) I put on the new caliper and took it for a drive and is still dragging but not anywhere near as bad as before. Now heres the scary part, when I hit the brakes it dives to the right. And it was the left caliper that was seized. It still wants to kinda dive to the right but again not near as bad as before. I am inclined to think I might have a blockage in the left front hose that is causing the fluid pressure not to release when the brake is let off, thus with pressure holding on the left the right is getting mega pressure when the brake is applied causing it to dive right. Sorry this is such a long post but I gotta figure this out tonight so I can fix it tomorrow cause the 67 is having to be my daily ride for a while and I got a show this weekend too. Thanks in advance for any input you good people might have.
