Would that be the '78-'87 A / G body "metric" calipers or the earlier A body calipers? I've heard of problems with the "metric" calipers. Been told they are "low drag" to retract the pads more than the earlier type, and this can result in a low pedal when not used with a quick take up master cylinder. I've got them on my T roadster, and have the same phenomenon, but It could be just air in the system.
