Is the brake adjustment procedure for a 37 car different than 36? Is there a shop manual for the 37? I ordered the 37 restoration manual yesterday. I just acquired a 37 Fordoor that was in the same family for four generations since new. Although supposedly the brakes were just replaced, they feel non-existent as there is virtually NO stopping power. VERY SCARY!! TIM CARLIG

The brake adjustment procedure for the 1937 is different than the 1936 because of the change to cable actuated brakes. A procedure for adjusting the cables without the special KRW tool is documented in the Ford 1937 and 1938 Engine and Chassis Repair Manual #V-14 reprint with a blue cover. A procedure for a minor and major adjustment as well as the procedure to adjust the cable conduits is covered in this book. The reprint of the 1932-37 Service Bulletins describes the procedure to adjust the cables and conduits using the KRW tool. I have no direct experience with the cable brakes yet, I am in the process of adding them back on my car, but I have been told that you should have woven brake shoes to make them effective.
