waste of time, been there, done that, marginally better. The fix is either converting to 11" drums or disc brakes.

I tired it all with my Chevelle...new drums, aluminum drums, 4 secondary shoes, aftermarket disc brakes replacing the factory disc brakes up front and finally 11" rear brakes which fixed staging issues as well better braking down track.
