You people keep bashing Drum brakes but I wiped out the disc brakes on my Caprice wagon coming down Mt Washington because it had no engine braking. I had previously driven the Mountain with my 1966 Tempest and my 1965 GTO with no problem slowing down. Both had the tiny stock drums. Engine braking! Also people keep forgetting the TRAILER brakes. I see NO problem with braking while pulling your trailer.
