Is the brake pedal to booster pushrod adjustment correct? If there is no clearance, the master cylinder would be partially activated and when heating occurs to the brake fluid in the brake system, the wheels would lock.

PEDAL FREE PLAY

Depress pedal a few times to eliminate vacuum.
Pedal free play should be.16-.28" (4-7 mm).
Adjust play by loosening push rod lock nut.
Turn push rod until correct free play is obtained.
Tighten push rod lock nut.
