Now I have a little more time on the road, the car is stopping much "better" compared to drums. Better meaning it feels more predictable like more modern car. It does seem to require a little more force than before but the braking power feels more linear ...

6 out of the 8 relays that control the top cycles are dual contact meaning when energized two circuits should be hot. I have experience relay failure where only one of the two contacts were working, very frustrating. If you are really stuck you can call Tom Chitwood at 3862909982. He has rebuilt some ...
