How to Adjust your Drum Brakes
Thursday Tech Specs
How to Adjust
your Drum Brake by turning the star wheel
1: Rais your
beloved vehicle and put it secure on axle stands.
( If you
have to take the wheel off to reach the adjuster hole...
loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle ).

2: Remove
the plug ( if There's any ) in the back plate to gain access to the star wheel
adjuster.
3: Turn the
star wheel with the tip of a large flat screwdriver, by sticking it in the hole
and move the screwdriver up or down...
4: If you
don't know the right direction to turn the adjuster...
Turn it
several teeth... give it some clicks, this should be enough to make the brake
shoes jam against the drum, so no further movement is possible. If the brake will
not jam, move the star wheel in the other direction till it will jam.
5: Back off
until the wheel just spins freely. (Usual one or two clicks)
Below... BleepinJeep's Youtube Video also shows how it works...
Truck Tuesday - 1939 Ford
My Father
in Law had this awesome original restored 1939 Ford
It's a big 1
tonner with the 122" wheelbase so
great for
parts hauling or using for work.
It also has the heavy duty back axle and 4
speed box.
All the
fenders are steel which is rare in these trucks,
The bed is
a repro which has had fresh wood fitted,
but the truck is been used last year as a truck
should
so don't
expect the bed or the paint to be
perfect,there's
scratches and a few dents.
Mechanically
it's fully sorted and will go anywhere,
The engine
and the gearbox were rebuilt,
a Mallory
sissy with electronic ignition
other than
that the motor is stock,
but runs sweet.
40's Ford
steel Front wheels...
It's also
been lowered significantly,

Problems with your fuel gauge... ? Think it's stuck?
Does it read full or empty all the time?
Here's what your problem could be... Test it, Fix it or replace it!
My fuel gauge only reads full:
If you can't make your gauge read anything but full then depending on your ohm range you may have one of the following problems:
The sender may not have a proper ground or there is a break in the sender lead wire or it isn't connected at all. Most common when you have a 0-30, 0-90 or 10-180 Ohm sender unit.
Most likely your sender lead wire is grounding out somewhere. Or possibly the center terminal on the sending unit itself is grounding out against the body of the car.

grounding out somewhere. Or possibly the
center terminal on the sending unit itself is grounding out against the body of
the car.
If you have
a 240-33 or 73-10 Ohm sender then the sender may not have a proper ground or
there is a break in the sender lead wire.
Here are some really helpfull video's about how to check and replace your ( stuck ) fuel gauge / tank sending unit...

Which
sender should I get / use:
The
resistance of your fuel sender has to match your gauge.
For
instance the resistance of the stock gauge in a 1955 Chevrolet has a value of zero
ohms when empty and 30 ohms when full.
Here's a list for stock gauges:
Ford Gauges up to 1986: 73-10 Ohms
Ford Gauges 1987
& up: 16-158 Ohms
GM Gauges up to 1964: 0-30 Ohms
GM Gauges 1965-1997: 0-90 Ohms
GM Gauges 1998
& up: 40-250 Ohms
Mopar Gauges up to
1986: 73-10 Ohms
AMC Gauges 1950-1977: 73-10 Ohms
Here's a list for some popular aftermarket brands / gauges:
Autometer Gauges: 240-33
Ohms: Most common
( however other ohm ranges are made ).
Classic
Instrument Gauges: 240-33 Ohms
(excl vehicle specific gauge kits which use
factory ohm range)
Dolphin Gauges: 0-90
Ohms
VDO Gauges: 10-180 Ohms
Dakota Digital Gauges: Programmable to work with most Ohm range senders
