I've looked at the suspension bits and they seem tight. What should I look for to fix this?

Sorry about that Bob.
It pulls to the right. And very quickly too not a gradual pull and most predominant under heavy braking.

To be honest when I first got the car, one of the front hoses was shot and wasn't allowing fluid to bleed to one caliper.
I changed all three hoses (a month ago) and I was able to bleed all the brake.
So perhaps my assistant wasn't pressing the pedal hard enough to clear any obstruction?

You could have a stuck caliper. Jack up the front and have someone put pressure on the brake pedel. See if one wheel will turn and the other does not. Anything else in the system been changed or worked on? Hard and soft pads in l and r caliper or is it possable to put the steel lines in the junction block on the inner fender in the wrong holes?(are they seperated for front and rear?) Bob

What I'll do is pretend I am starting from fresh and go over the front brake stuff and report back.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you have a piston sticking in the caliper. Another way to tell is to drive the car a bit, and put your hand on the hub. One will be hotter than the other.
If it does turn out to be the calipers, and you are going to rebuild them, I would recommend using some stainless steel pistons in there. It will save you grief later on.
