The MC i put in was the conversion kit from clarks, I have no clue if that's for drums or discs

Charles,
All that info is pretty much detailed in the 65 Shop Manual.
You put the drum on, and turn the star adjuster at the bottom of the brakes (with a brake spoon or long screw driver) until a heavy drag is felt (meaning you rotate the drum every few clicks of the adjuster). As long as you get them relatively close you should have no problems.
The MC you installed was for drum brakes, not disc brakes, right? There IS a difference.
Take care,
Lonzo

Hey all,
   Well, found out that my selector cable has a crack in it right near the case and I think that's why I've been losing so much ATF fluid, but I'm also checking for other leak points. I replaced the pan gasket in it a month ago, so I know it isn't leaking. 
   Also, I have never adjusting the drum brakes in my corvair before. I put in a new dual master cylinder and new wheels cylinders all the way around, so I need to adjust all the brakes, what do I need to do?
