68 barracuda front 10 inch drum mysteries

Hi all. Trying to rebuild the front drums ( 10 inch) on my 68 barracuda. I have several questions so I will try to lump it all in one thread
1) whats up with the adjuster kits that have adjuster lever pivot pins way too small for the hole in the shoes?? I was going to use the ones from the old shoes but they were super loose too.
2) Which is the correct type adjuster lever for this year. There is the type with the aforementioned arm and pivot pin, and then other places I see one that uses no pivot pin but just kind of clips in a hole in the shoe and pivots from there. My POS barracuda had both styles, one on each side, so no help there. I dug out my 67 coronet rear end and looked at those brakes and they had the NO PIVOT PIN style. But the kit the parts house got me was the pivot pin style.
3) How the heck is the pivot pin style supposed to work, assuming I didnt have the wobbly pin situation. When I tried to assemble it it seemed the little spring under the lever just smacks on the adjuster barrel.
4) Which sides for the right hand/left hand thread adjusters. If my memory servers me well, I think the left hand thread goes on passenger side Yes??
Thanks.
