I am trying to find an online assembly manual for the rear brakes on a 67. I want to verify I have reassembled them correctly. Thanks

Never seen a manual but if you take picture and post it I'm sure if not myself somebody here can tell you almost immeadiatly if it is correct or not.

Any repair manual for that covers your vehicle would undoubtly have a diagram of the rear brakes if all else fails perhaps a trip to your local library is in order to look it up.

Our library has nothing, that's the first place I went. I serching for a 67 Chilton's. Thanks

I do not have a picture at hand, but some things can be checked to be in the right place. If they are, other things will only fit right when they are in place.

The wheel cylinder should have the bleeder above the line connection. The e-brake lever hooks into the rear shoe and has a small spring over its notch. There is a hook that mounts from the top of the e-brake lever to the point on top where the springs are attached to later on. The e-brake cable hooks to its lower end. The shoe with the longest lining mounts on the rear side. Shoes are held against the backing plate with a small pin with locking tab and a spring sitting behind the shoe. Above the axle is a bracket from shoe to shoe, widest gap on the rear side with an oval spring over it. The adjuster mounts below the axle between the shoes and with its turnable wheel on the rear and lying against the e-brake lever.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Rob,
I finally got on to Chilton's online database through my local library. I had the front brakes assembled with no problem, but for some reason in my dissassembly, the pictures of the rear parking brake strut did not turn out, and I am having trouble getting in into place. I know where it attaches at the top, and how the cable attaches, I am not sure if it goes under or sits on top of the adjuster lever.

Off of the top of my head I would say over (outside) the little wheel.

You can check this. When you turn the adjuster wheel you will notice the adjuster getting longer or shorter, depending on the direction you will be turning. Now, when the lever goes downward (this happens when backing up the car) the adjuster should be getting longer!

I cannot remember whether or not the right and left adjusters or the same. On the other hand when the levers on both sides on the car are mounted in the same way (be it out or inward), they will each turn the adjuster wheel in opposite directions, thus the adjusters are not identical.

Mile. I just found the picture in my 66 manual http://www.si.hhs.nl/~rob/images/other/rear_drum_66.jpg

I hope this is what you were looking for. I am glad I remembered it correctly.
