Should add the car has been completely rewired with an American Autowire update kit so isn't any old wiring or ballist resistor or any of that stuff

Have a bit of an odd extremely intermittent problem going. Have a LA 318 with a GMC style pro-form hei distributor. Every once in awhile the car will just turn off like key was turned off. No stumble or rough running, just an instant ignition cut. It'll instantly fire right back up no issues and...

Developed a what seems to be either low charge or no charge issues this morning and wanted to see what y'all think. It's a 67 Cuda with a American Auto wire update kit in it and a power master single wire alternator. Battery only shows 11.5 while running and doesn't go up with rpm. Battery is in...

Looks like it actually is something going on with the wheel cylinder, pulled it all out and just placed the shoe in and it hits the cylinder and doesn't let it go all the way to the pin

Tried pul Tried pulling around didn't do much, pulled the parking bar out and it still sitting off, wonder if cylinder or something is wrong like 67 dart is saying

That's the weird part, it won't compress onto the pin whatever try to do, kinda like it's hitting something but can't seem to see anything for it to be hitting. Probably going to pull it all apart and see iff anything visible that'd be stopping it from resting

Yes

Pic and wheel cylinder are newer and know park brake cables move and are good

Y'all have any ideas on what could cause the brake shoe to sit off like this? Causing brakes to excessively drag and heating them up and just isn't right. Not quite sure why they're sitting like that tho, old shoes seemed to sit same way.

Yeah been the problem, literally almost nothing out there. Found one set of rotors we're going to try and see if they're actually right or not

It doesn't come back that far, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 inch. As far as we know, everything was working correctly before changed mc. Have had everything apart, do know wheel bearings are good, spun nice and free and smooth. Potentially hose, but did replace one know recently and both sides were dragging...

What I am asking the question for. I am trying to figure out why it is doing that and trying to get ideas on what to be looking for

Manual and old master cylinder was manual so used that pushrod.

So went to go take a look at front brakes on our 67 cuda and realized could barely spin the rotors they were dragging so much. KH small bolt disks. Just replaced the master cylinder with the doctor dif plastic top. Did notice that cracked the bleeders it squirted out and then if I pull back on...

Is it readable with the hubs mounted and on the car?
