Re: [Amc-list] Dang left-braking car, anyway

[Ray Mick <rmick@xxxxxxx>]

I have a 71 Javelin 6 cylinder with 9 inch drums I have yet to figure  
out why one adjuster continually gets tighter and tighter and the car  
starts pulling done everything you have to this point and still no  
luck Hoping you would come up with the answer. Next thing to do is to  
put on discs.
