Default Re: disc brakes & distributor

Great post above. I am running the Bendix setup in front and stock Lockheed on the rear as you mention. I am not totally happy with the Lockheeds though because I could never figure out how to adjust them. They don't adjust like all the directions in the manuals I have read. The problem is they tend to drag on my 40 Wagon. I just adjust them for minimum drag and that's it. I have new drums on the rear and had the NOS linings arced to the drums but they still don't adjust the way the book says. I guess they work ok, I really don't know. I am thinking about going to the Bendix brake in the rear too but they are pretty pricey. I sure like the design of the Bendix brakes. Hate those Lockheeds though, even on the rear.
