Sweep leader- they are adjusted just until i started to hear them drag they turn without much resistance but the shoes are touching the drums.

Mike b- to my understanding/ how it was explained to me, the factory uses 1 &1/4" bore mc 1 outlet to feed 6 wheel cylinders splitting that, where 1 &1/8 bore feeds just the front and rear seperately would be unnecessary to have a larger bore. Volume wouldnt be an issue with an 1/8" difference, then the hydroboost system will pick up the slack by adding all the pressure you would need and then some as explained to me. However from my own personal experiences taking my chevelle for example, smaller system yes, but i am able to go from 1 &1/8" bore mc, to a 7/8" mc and my brakes work just a little bit better. Thats 1/4 " difference in mc bore size with barely any change to my stopping distance or the functionality of my brakes or pedal height. ( i have tried this with all 3 sizes being 1 & 1/8", 1", and 7/8" mc's. The 7/8" mc was actually the most responsive to pedal input but braking distance still remained very similar.

Colby g- sorry for hijacking your thread, my apologies.
