the museum i got the truck made a half heartened attempt cleaning this side of the v-cover.
i'll remove coil clean better and take another pic of it with a scale for reference.

yesterday i got all the shoes off the drums enough to spin wheels/tires when jacked up.
cylinder kits are ordered AND thinking about changing m-cylinder to later dedicated front - rear operation.

ac429 f-pump rebuilt and going on 2day. the weak action barely usable china special worked only for driving on the farm lanes/off road total 7 miles to free up b-shoes. china pump has big trouble priming the carb when servicing the overworked fuel filter. Reillys said they'll take it back. thx
