Rick, the problems you are hearing so far are typical. The stock system will work good until you upgrade any portion of it. Just adding the Granada setup usually does away with the brakes. One thing I have heard is some of the guys are using the master cylinder out of a Mustang GT. They have to change the reservoir to a truck style since the GT is tipped. I have used the electric system from the Buick GN and it works great in the car but it's expensive to setup. I have tried numerous master cylinders with no change. I think the rears are the key to all of this. Especially when the parking brake is used. It's also necessary to adjust the rear drum setups regularly. They are self adjusting but only if you use reverse alot. Keeping them properly adjusted will usually eliminate any problems on the stock 9" front and rear drum system.
