drum brake question

[Run to Rund]

Try some custom linings with a better coefficient of friction, rather than using standard low quality linings and more lining surface area. See my post about Ott's use of premium Abex linings. Hopefully that will help you. Also, you can't expect optimum performance before the linings are fully seated (worn in) to the drums.

I talked to Ott's before getting the Bendix shoes. I can't remember who I talked to, but he wasn't real helpful. He told me I had to send them metal. which I didn't have at the time. Now that I have some, I'll try to call them again.

RockAuto shows 69 Caprice uses a 1" rear wheel cyl., be surprised if
that wouldn't swap, a lot the old GM stuff swapped that was nice..

Ron that holds for you too 70 caprice shows a 1" rear that's a 1/8"
jump over the Nova and front shows 1-3/16" over 1-1/8" for the Nova
jumps not that big for the front may not help much.
