The first thing to keep in mind is that this is probably the first 
car you have driven without power brakes in many years. But check the 
brake fluid reservoir anyway, to make sure that both sides are filled 
up to the seam.  

The first thing to check would be to take the car out for a drive 
where you don't use the brakes much, then stop and feel each drum and 
rotor to see if any of them are hot. Be careful. If anything is 
dragging, that disk or rotor can be hot enough to burn you badly. If 
you have any hot ones, you have work to do, but you'll have to figure 
out exactly what the problem is first.
