Drum Brake Help

[69hemi]

Has anybody come up with a good way to adjust the 11' non self-adjusting, non power drums.  I think I have them right but would not like to have to got through the 20 test drives to get them even so the car does not pull.

Many thanks!

Yeah, that is what I have done but whoever though up the idea on non-self adjusting drums is still laughing

The 10" drums in 69 were self adjust but not the 11's. Anyone know the reason??The 11's brake were self adjusting in 1970.

My Roadrunner came with them as well as the GTX I am now working on.  In the service manual they are listed as the brakes for severe duty use like Taxi cabs and Police car.  I can't imangine why a "fleet" type vehicle would come with brakes that constantly need adjusting?  I will say this, when they are adjusted properly they do bring the car to a fast stop.
