Everything worked fine, except 2 things. I was particularly nervous about the 727 since I rebuilt it. Was able to breath again when it shifted 1. Rear brake drum slots scraping against backing plate lips (I knew about this issue). Have a local machine shop cutting the drum slot deeper to clear the backing plate lip. It was a beautiful day and I was anxious to get it on the road, so I suffered through the scraping. 2. Mushy brakes and brake warning light. Bench bled the master, the bled the lines. Unfortunately, I wasn't careful enough and the front reservoir drained empty before I realized it. So I suspect there's still some air in the lines. Warning light may be switch misalignment on the parking brakes (which I forgot to align).
