In other words, if your brake pedal is moving far enough to dislodge the shaft of the brake switch you have a problem with the brakes.

Thanks for your reply--
I can't stay that the brakes have been adjusted per what ever books are out there, but I do know the the pedal does not go to the floor when pressed. I adjusted all four wheels so that the brake shoes were just starting to touch the drums. After adjusting the brakes I had a very firm pedal with minimal pedal travel. I am sure that when Henry designed this car he took in to account that the brakes would eventually wear down and the pedal will travel more and more.
Look at the photo that Gary Karr posted and then look at the photo of the repo part that I bought from Bert's. I rest my case!
