I have many, many questions..... Thanks for all your patience! I want to make sure this car is ready before I take it out on it's first drive. For some reason the left side Parking Brake Rod is not installed and is in a packing tube. The right side is hooked up. I know I can look at it, but I want to be sure that it's done right before ordering parts for the left side. Is there an online source for a parts breakdown of this assembly?

If you don't have them, get the parts catalogs from Langs, Snyders and Chaffins. Not everything in the catalogs is online.
Next, they all sell reprints of a number of repair books for the Ford Model T. Start with the "Ford Service" and Ford Parts book for the year of car or get the 1928 reprint.
Sometimes it a lot faster to find information with book in hand, along with being able to look at the pictures.

probably my favorite reference is the Model T Ford owner by Murray Fahnstock, and the Vowel art exploded views are great.
Hopefully there is a local MTFCA club near you and some fellas only a few golf strokes away to get some pictures of other T's to use as a referece.
Another good book is Milt Webbs rebuilding a ruckstell and how to drive a T, has some good pointers in settting up the rear brake adjustement.
E-brake @ 12 O'clock and there should be just a slight drag on the drums as the brake cams begin to move the brake shoe. There is a lot going on and worn rear hubs as in my case were another problem related to rear brake adjustment.
I have a set of Rocky Mountain brakes I will be setting up on my Fordor as soon as I get my wheels back from re-spoking, then I will be re-adjusting rear brakes. The fun never stops.
