Back to basics...A couple questions on my New A body!

Cool car.

I am loving my drum brakes on my 71 swinger /6.

After a good bleed and proper adjustment, they stop nice and tight every time, and actually got better after they seated after adjustment.

Now that I know that they will actually stop the car adequately for a daily driver, I am going to buy new drums, and premium shoes. For the time being, I cleaned everything, and installed the new wheel cylinders. New drums, and best shoes, should help it stop even better. Lord knows when the drums were turned last, or what quality of shoes are on this thing.
