New to me car that I’m slowly going through as I have time. Currently tackling an issue with the brakes. As I come to a stop the brakes are making a loud, almost screeching/scraping noise. From what I was reading about drum brakes the fix for this might be putting anti seize on the backing plate where the shoes may be rubbing. I’m new to this and learning as I go. I was hoping to confirm this info here, or get some pointers on what I should be checking.

Hi recently picked up a 1947 Dodge Custom Sedan. I am new to this world so bare with me. It has an flathead 6 motor which I believe would be the d24? Car was running fine, but ran into an issue with the fuel pump. Wasn’t getting fuel to the pump, replaced with fp from Andy Bernbaum. Now I am getting fuel through the system, and the car is running. Drove around the neighborhood and it is now sputtering and stalling. (This wasn’t happening previously.) Looking for some pointers on this issue (possibly an air leak from installing the new fp?) Also looking for any resources for more knowledge on these vehicles.
