    Solving the dreaded 350 SB Starter mystery?

    Yankee, it's definitely a mystery at this point. Yet to figure it out. Flywheel appears ok, no visible cracks, warp etc but in the car tough to assess.

    4 Wheel Drums are killin me!

    Just got my ride, fresh build. Has front straight Ford axle with 60's Econoliner drums up front and drums rear. Pedal has minimal movement, takes tremendous amount if foot/leg pressure to brake at all and braking ability is poor. Any ideas to improve brakes with my set up?
