Yeah, I need to check if it’s a gauge problem or a true reading of alternator output.

Turns out this car has the seemingly hard-to-find factory-style non-finned rear brake drums. I’m thinking to save these and run parts counter finned replacements since I plan to keep putting miles on the car. Just about every time I turn a wrench I learn something new about these cars!

Interestingly the drums are different left and right. Left side is p/n 3841177, which I think is the OE number but I don’t see a date code. Right side is p/n 3993560 which might be the early ‘70s replacement part? Note that the star adjuster windows haven’t been knocked out. Fun stuff.

Also pulled a wheel trim ring to see the date code. Looks like August 4th so not original to the 2D car but still fun to have YH wheels.

Happy New Year, all!
