Brakes soft, now brakes are locking up! 700 1985

There may have been some debris in the system, though for various reasons, I've run about 2 gallons of brake fluid through the system in the last 3 months. Reverse flush didn't show anything but that doesn't mean I didn't have a chunk in there.

AFter replacing the MC, adjusting the pin that presses the MC, and replacing the hardline between the MC and the distribution block, things seem to be working OK. I went through a couple of heat cycles on the brakes and don't seem to have any long term effects. The rear rotors are getting changed soon with my 8.8 rear end swap. I have a spare pair of front rotors that I can swap if needed.

Thanks for the thoughts!
