Description
- More Details
- Single venturi Zenith carburetor. Mechanically operated rod-actuated drum brakes. You need shims to adjust these brakes. I propose that you need to anticipate braking applications by hundreds of yards. Remember that your tire patch of seventeen inch diameter narrow rubber at high pressure is not conducive to rapid stops. Panic operation of the brake pedal is not recommended! Nevertheless, my excursions accompanied by the oldest son in the passenger side of the front bench seat and his two siblings in the rumble seat were accomplished without injury or incident. Sunday excursions to purchase ice cream cones from Midland along Highway 50 in Virginia are among my most vivid memories of the company of my three children.
