Did you rebuild the Caliper? If not that may take care of it. You will have to measure the caliper and piston to see what kind of wear it has? If you did - either your hone job and or seal failed. Pitting from moister and sitting a long time take toll on the 40 year old part. All in all a new one may be in order?

Keep me posted on that one.  Last time I bought a pair for mine, they were like $200 plus a $200 core.  That has been 5-7 years ago.
