Non self adjusting brakes

[69hemibeep]

I know they were used on Hemi cars and police cars. The 383 Roadrunner rear I'm working on has them and they are original, I thought they should be self adjusting, am I off base? It has the large tooth adjuster and has never had a brake job!

To my knowledge, all Road Runners with non-power drum brakes were manually adjusted. Not sure if that applies to cars that had power brakes &/or front discs?
The adjusting (star) wheel looks like every other tooth is missing on the manual versions.

I think seventy is the first year of self adjusters (could be wrong) but many updated their 69s to it over the years, I don't mind the manual adjusters one bit.

My early build car had the manny's.

Haven't had to touch the brakes on mine...but now you guys have piqued my curiousity...

betwen parts cars, and drivers, I've had about a dozen '68-';69 B Bodies, and none had self adjusters. I was kinda surprised that my '68 Charger R/T didn't. My Uncle's C Bodies from the same years did though.
