Hey guys,  I am looking for the overall length of the rear brake  emergency 
brake strut bar. Also the length between the slots in the bar. I  suspect 
someone (PO) worked on the brakes and replaced some of the brake parts  with non 
Corvair parts. The adjuster wheels both were about an inch longer  than stock so 
that the shoes couldn't be retracted far enough to keep the  brakes from 
dragging all the time.  The strut bar may also be too  long.

 Most likely all is fine!!  This is common with todays  RELINED  shoes...
 
 See if you have a  brake shop / parts house that can  "ARC"  the shoes..  
They'll explain the procedure /  reason.
 
  Otherwise you can take the adjusters out and shorten them...what  most of 
us end up doing..
