Thank you all! A lot of good things to investigate.

No pulsing and pulls at low speed. No oil leak either. Brake shoes are nice and dry.

My 65 Fury drum brakes pull to the right, but only the first few stops after it has sat a while. Ive inspected the brakes for wear notches in the back plate and lubed the contact points in the appropriate places. Drums and linings look good. I’m thinking the wheel cylinder on the left front...

My 65 Sport Fury (originally a 318 automatic) has 11” drums on the front that the service manual refers to as police drums. Were these standard on the Sport Fury, an option or?

Checking that linkage adjustment is a good suggestion. It commonly gets called a kick down linkage, but it more importantly controls transmission pressure and adjusts it appropriately for the throttle position. GM and Ford typically use vacuum control for this function.

Also Sixpactogo, that’s a really sharp looking Sport Fury.

My bad on calling the location to be on the rocker panel. The car was painted before I got it and the holes are there for the emblem on the lower right fender. (One main and one smaller to keep it indexed). The outer fender liner is currently removed and so far I’ve seen no access to the back. I...

Thank you!

Sorry for previous blank reply. Hit the wrong button I’ve had experience w using differential compression testers on aircraft engines and it may be relevant (or not) to cars. One thing that affects readings is the size of the orifice between the high and low side. In aviation there are two...

I hope my experience with making this repair can be helpful to others. My rear quarter window was loose from the bottom frame on one side and almost out on the other. I used the method describe in this video to rebed the glass into the bottom frames. . You’ll see in the video that kerosene is...

I wonder if a little heat (but not too much) would make them pliable enough to snap into the holes better.

Here’s another thing I tried that didn’t satisfy me it would work well. I had a bunch of the 807 that started this post. Problem was they were too long (and also stiffer than needed for a piece of trim this light). You can see from the attached I tried cutting them shorter. Two problems were...
