Having a fit with the passenger's drum on '67 Dart

Good questions. I had a time just trying to get the passenger's side drum off to begin with, and that was with about 12,000 miles or so already on those older shoes.

I've got all the shoes correct on both sides (I've checked, rechecked and checked again with the shop manual and have them exactly right and to make sure they were all the same size they should be with the correct primary and secondary shoes in the proper places).

I will check to make sure the cups are bottomed out, but I even took a rubber hammer to the shoes to see if I could do anything to compress them any more.

I did wiggle everything around to make sure they're seated correctly.

I did swap the drums, and the driver's side drum does exactly the same thing that the passenger's side does - it binds and won't go any further than about halfway without sticking on the shoes on the one side, but it goes smoothly back on the driver's side with no problem at all.

It really looks like I have identical shoes, etc. on there because I've wracked my brain trying to make sure everything is right. Tonight I'm going to put the shoes and everything on the back, but I don't expect any problem with that assembly.
