Drum brake adjustment
I have just rebuilt the wheel cylinders on my '65 New Yorker. (drums front and rear) How snug should the shoes be against the drums for proper adjustment? Or rather how far should I turn the adjustment wheel? How much play is there supposed to be? I think I just asked the same thing three times, but it still doesn't sound right..........Maybe I should have said "What is the procedure for adjusting drum brakes??" BTW: these do not have the self adjusters.
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
How did you get hooked on cars?
