Need rear drums and wheel cylinders for 49 series 61. Can you help me find them? Also any 49 owners in the Sacramento Ca. area who can advise as I'm trying to get this on the road again after a 20 year sleep? Engine was apart so I need to get some photos and electrical information regarding re-assembly. I'm almost there but don't want to burn up the system with misplaced wiring.
Thanks for any help at all.

Kanter's in New Jersey sells wheel cylinders, as follows:

You should buy a 1949 Cadillac Shop Manual, which will tell you how to assemble the motor and in it is a wiring diagram.  Here is one for sale on ebay:

Try John Gately in Massachusetts, Honest John's Caddy Corner in Texas and Dennis Akerman in New Hampshire for brake drums.
