Re: Tapered Axle Rear Brake Conversion

Mike, is your question does the hole in the center of the 2955R drum clear the hub as outlined here ? hub.jpg The answer to that is yes. However, what doesn't fit is the drum itself, without alteration. The depth of the drum is deeper than that of your original drum. Matthew suggests that it might b...

Re: Tapered Axle Rear Brake Conversion

To me is just wasn't worth changing out the rear axle. Just to be clear, Art - the approach described here doesn’t advise changing out the rear axle. It advises separating the hub from the drum, pressing in new lug bolts, mounting it permanently to the axle with the original nut, and procuring drum...

Thanks for the good wishes, Bernie! Yes, you were a very early subscriber... Time flies, and all that. The POC Bulletin just arrived and I see Dan has taken the "Picture Is Worth 1000 Words" adage to heart for this issue. Time to get back to the printed words and pictures now. For those wh...

Visit to a Small Planet (1960)

Goofy alien Jerry Lewis lands on Earth, decides to try the suburban way of life for awhile, angering his superior officers in space. Screenwriter Edmund Beloin adapted Gore Vidal's play, but it doesn't seem directly tailored for Lewis' mugging talents--which is a blessing. The material is actually ...

The Apartment (1960)

One of the finest examples of smart, satiric comedy-drama ever created for the screen. Jack Lemmon (in amazing comic form) plays a working stiff in Corporate America--via New York City--whose bachelor apartment inadvertently becomes a love-nest for amorous, married executives. The film is extremely...

Stormy Monday (1988)

These clips from the movie focus on a rare 1959 "PlySoto" - a Desoto Diplomat Deluxe, built for the export market. This is one of those sleeper films, a good one that is not very well- known.....but should be. The movie has all the features of a good noir, most of all a feeling of impendin...

Re: Cast iron A-466 to A-727 conversion Forward Look 56 to 61

My '63 Valiant wagon uses the rear drum braking system for emergency brakes, Rick (as well as having a park pawl for the transmission). That's consistent with your observation.

What did Mother MoPar do for emergency braking before 1949? Or are emergency brakes a post-WWII invention?
