Backing plates are upside down first because model a rear end. I’m not going into detail of that. If you done know google.

Also they are Lincoln backing plates. I would have clocked the backing plate to miss the spring perch but unlike the ford backing plates you can’t.

Third. SS327 . The wheel cylinders are positioned correctly. Bleeder at the top. This has been done many times on here guys. I don’t know how some are shocked at what is being done.

 

You did adjust the top (bottom on your rear brakes) locating stud to optimize the shoe’s up-down positioning, right?

I got a couple new residual valves. Changing out the rear one first because I’m thinking since I had to adjust the pedal rod pushing on the mc a tad it is not holding the 10psi pressure to rears.

I did a few up and downs on my road and it stops better than before. So we’ll see
