    I keep milking my front drum setup with the intention of swapping to a Disc setup in the near future, which isn't the smartest thing I have ever done, nor the most safe!

    Has anyone compiled a list of the complete Disc Brake assemblies that AMC has offered? I have read that informative write up by Jeff Barfield that is all over Internet about doing this change-over. The thing that I am curious about comes from the statement dealing with getting everything from one donar car to make sure the setup is all of the same type.
    Either Kelsey-Hayes, old Bendix 4 piston, Bendix for 01-40 series, Big Bendix for 10-80 series, ETC.ETC. Also the compatibility of using the 7 3/4 inch, 8 inch, or 9 inch booster, single or daul diaphragm. Finally, the master cylinder, which I thought until receantly that Disc/Drum Masters had the large/small resevoirs and the Drum/drum masters had the equal size ones.

    One thing I have always enjoyed about AMC is that they generally would use the same setup across the model line-up, as well as staying with that perticular combination over many years. No doubt from being an Independent auto manufacturer in order to keep costs down.

    I don't have access as much as I use to to AMC factory Parts listings, but I will try to catagorize the individual complete setups by Series and Year and post it for here for everyone to reference. I had Hornets for over 13 years and now I'm back to Javelins, time to Re-Edgumacate! If any one has access to factory parts listings from say, 68 thru '84, I am willing to do the paperwork.

    Has this all been done already, maybe on this forum, or the other AMC sites?
