Check and make sure the master cylinder is clear and none of the brake lines are pinched. Check the rubber lines (there's a possibility they could have collapsed and act like a check valve). I ended up replacing everything from the master cylinder all the way to the rotors in the front before i fixed the problem on my 86. Turned out the master cylinder wasn't allowing brake fluid back into the reservoir.

also check you fluid condition. my 84 just started sticking last week. my fluid was nasty would not let the the front left release. took forever to bleed the whole system and start fresh.
