Found the mis-behavin plug wire and got that corrected so, of course, off for a ride......
Well let me start this at the beginning. A few weeks ago when I was doing numerous small things to the vette I took some slack out of the emergency brake cable. Drove her and felt like the rear brakes were dragging particulary as I drove on. Came home with slightly smoky rear brakes and backed off the emergency brake cable thinking I had taken a bit too much slack up.
Today following the plug wire correction I took her out for a drive again. Same thing. Seems to feel like it comes a little more from L rear but both L and R heat up too much. I'm thinking it's the old "I need SS sleeved rear calipers" gig.
Pads all around are new condition and the smell, I believe, was brake as opposed to other common smells but before I invest in two new SS sleeved calipers I'd like some input.
Thanks,
Ken
