WRT the brake issue on the 400, it could be any number of things: parking brake cable binding, weak return springs, sticky wheel cylinder, fluid-soaked linings, etc.

Brace yourself, as you're gonna need to pull the drum for visual inspection and perhaps other work, but you've been down that road with the Pat.

Be sure to place the car such that you can get it up high enough on jackstands in the event that under-car work is needed - for example, parking brake cable service.
