-try adjusting shoes til they start to drag ---then when you get into the water box pump the brake pedal a few times til it starts to get hard---you'll feel it in your foot--- then with the pedal still on the brake pedal set the line loc ---then start your burn out see if this helps--worked on my 67 camaro with drum brakes--Comp

Ken, have you put new lining on it lately? Did you have the new lining re-arched to the drums?

Billy Nees might be onto something. We had the same problem that drove us crazy. We put on new brake pads and new rotors. Turned out that we didn't have the above broken in properly.
