According to the service manual, '64 300s, Ks (not sure about thr ram-K), NYers and Imperials came with 3" shoes/drum sets all around. Only the Newport came with 3" front sets and 2 1/2" rear sets. If, for any reason, you have 2 1/2" sets in the rear (parts manual shows 2 1/2" drums [P/N 2401 962-3) listed for all except Imperial), and would like to install 3", the rear brake shoe supports need to be replaced as well. I don't know why 2 1/2" brakes were listed for 300s and NYers, maybe someone with more knowledge on this can give us the reason. Best, Ron Kurtz E #292 ________________________________ From: A.

I'm told 3" was for ram cars only. It would make thing easyer for me to get the right width. So I may have a good 3" set to sell. Cant get gas tanks cleaned here do to law. I drain them and give the old gas to a friend who lives on a farm. They use it for burning. I then put a couple of chains in the tank, laundry detergent and water. And work the $it out of it. Then do it all over again. Once its "clean" I use a gas tank sealer. It's a job I would pay someone to do if I could !
