Re: Improving brake performance

Thank you for the responses. I was able to get my wife's car back on the road (new fuel pump and filter, not fun on a "new" car), and my truck has not been driven since I discovered the leaking rear hose.

I was able to ID my MC, and it is correct (as is the rest of the brake system from my inspection, excluding HD rotors from a 73-87). I just ordered all new parts as well as drum rebuild kit from ECE, should be here in a few days.

Can anyone recommend me a good book or video series on rebuilding and adjusting drums? I am familiar with disks, but as noted I have little experience with drums (had plenty of poor jobs done at places like Just Brakes and I'd like to learn myself).
