Re: Brake adjustment
Before you adjust the brakes, assuming they are not all rebuilt, check for proper function. Take the hubs off and inspect the brakes, looking for worn parts or parts that are not working properly.
After you adjust the brakes per the videos, take the car out for a brake check. The car should stop within 24 feet at 20 mph on level dry asphalt. And should not pull to one side or the other. Make minor adjustments as needed until you are satisfied with the stopping.
The videos will say to adjust the brakes so that they are biased towards the rear. I have found better stopping with the brakes biased towards the front.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work.
The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk.

Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
