kept the hard lines and the wheel cylinders but new hoses and master cylinder. flushed everything with my new vac pump until it ran clear so to the best of my abilities, i think it's about as good as it gets.

adjusted the shoes on all four wheels per specifications in the book and even adjusted the e-brake (never know when that may come in handy).

i think i might back the shoes off a little more to increase pedal travel just to make it feel a more like it used to. i've got plenty of stopping power so i won't, or shouldn't, lose any effective travel/stopping power.

sorry i didn't get to the gas sending unit to take a picture, and wouldn't ya know...it seems to be working fine now.
