Front brake issues

[Sonny]

I did a front drum to disc swap 18 months
ago on my 70 Belvedere. Today driving home it started pulling left, then right, then the pressure seemed to change under the pedal, then once I got home, the car seemed to struggle to move in gear at idle. Where should I start? MC? Rubber hoses? The MC is also 18 months old with less than 1000 highway miles. Think it came from Napa.

Found it. Used a loose zip tie to keep it from going the direction again

The brake hose was pinched in the lower control arm?
I think something more permanent than a Zip tie would be wise.

Yup. Just temporary. Been wanting to swap to steel braided hoses soon.

I would replace the hose before you drive it again. Pinched like that could cause it to blowout and then you’ll have no brakes.

Not to be a picky dicky....but that hose should be nowhere close to the pinchpoint between the bumper and control arm. At least that's how it looks in your picture?
If so something isn't right..wrong/too long of a hose maybe?

Bit of an optical illusion here but mine is about 4" behind that point. There's no chance of it rubbing or getting caught between any parts.
