Default what could be causing this?? HELP!!!

alright i need my car for work this upcoming week and thankfully monday is my day off... i drive an hour each way so putting up with it is not an option... i just bought a new shell and the right front brake has been dragging... i replaced the caliper, prop. valve and master cylinder with known good ones and have bled the brakes numerous times during the process... they act fine every time i change something and then it all of a sudden starts dragging again... i start to notice a still pedal feel and then it starts up again... anyone have any suggestions? thanks a lot
in advance
-Josh

check the clearance between the booster and brake push-rod. the tolerances are very small here, and can cause brake dragging if not properly adjusted.

so being too tight can cause the brakes to drag? i noticed that the car i took the master cylinder off of had spacers between the m/c and the brake booster and mine didnt... i think im going to go swap the spacers over... thanks a lot
