I used to be a parts guy years ago and I'm pretty sure 1970 is the first year of automatic adjusters and can be retro fitted on a 69 car if desired. they work so when you are in reverse and hit they brake they move out one click, manual adjusters are fine, they make a wedgie thing that you can insert thru the backing plate and move they adjuster one side is up one side is down (i think) I used to know but I do have the info. written down in a mini notebook I keep in the GTX.

My runner ('69) has auto adjusters on the rear brakes - and they are a pain when trying to rebuild them.

Yes, and that is exactly what I used along with a rag, to finally get my stubborn wiper arms off. So I guess you could call it a "universal" adjusting tool.
