    A lil ? 68 300 with a 70 383. Needs tlc

    ‘61 Newport that is new to me- sorting her out and trying to identify some parts….

    A little roughness won't hurt the parking brake function. I mistakenly thought the reason you wanted the drum turned was to clean up the rust. I've used nothing but PS fluid in any Forward Looks I've owned as that is what the FSM called for, nothing more than auto parts store brand PS fluid...

    ‘61 Newport that is new to me- sorting her out and trying to identify some parts….

    No reason to turn or true up a parking brake drum. Hit the rust with some emery cloth and call it good. Surface rust will occur on it as you know it does not act as a brake drum.

    1957 dodge custom royal front brakes questions

    I don't believe I've ever seen them welded. I do remember that those rods as you call them can be pushed in but you could not pull them out. Perhaps at some point the innards that prevented them from being pulled out were broken and someone welded the loops in place to be able to hook the return...

    What are you using for an electric fan?

    Agreed. Address the source of the heat first before going all Rube Goldberg on it. They didn't run hotter than normal or overheat when new so they should not now. If you check the temp at the thermostat housing I've found you get a false reading with the car running because of the heated air...
