Brake locking up

My front passengerside brake keeps locking up on my 86 z28 (originaly 305 carb, now has a rebuilt 79 corvette L-82), i changed the calipers and pads earlier today after it first did it but when i test drove the car afterwards it locked up again so im not too sure what could be causing the problem. any ideas? could it be the combination valve???? thanks

Welcome to the site. A search is always helpful on TGO. Rubber brake line collapsing?

You won’t see any brake hose collapse.
Brake hoses become restricted, then act as one way valves.
Replace your brake hoses.
