I would suspect the pushrod operating the master cylinder is too long.  That would explain why the calipers didn’t retract initially, causing them to fry.  It would also explain low flow (or low volume), since the piston in the master cyl. is already partially extended, you don’t get full stroke, when the brake pedal is applied.

Well, I cant imagine it has been changed. Is there any reference to use in determining if it is the correct one? I still believe that the car sat up a long time and the brakes were gummed up. I took one of the calipers apart and it was definitley a mess inside
