Hello;
Just stumbled across this thread. I have a 66 Town and Country, sort of a sister. I am curious about your comment on brake self adjusters. My wagon has 3" wide drum brake shoes on all four corners, appears to be factory. This setup did not use self adjusters, from all of the information I have found. I am curious what size brakes are on your Dodge. Mine work well enough that I am not upgrading to discs, but am doing the dual master conversion. Like Ross, I had a brand new single master fail withing weeks of install, very scary.
BTW, it also has a unique 14" wheel with a different, deeper offset. I have a parts car wagon with the same wheel, not sure if this was true on all wagons.
A bit late, but I put KYB shocks on all four corners. A pain to install the front ones, but the transformation in ride and handling was amazing. The only downside is that they are oddly soft in very low speed (parking lot) maneuvers.
Good luck on the A/C work, mine doesn't work either but not as critical in Michigan. Its original, but I also have a dozen or so cans of R-12.
