Re: 1977 Hornet disk brakes... to slide or not?? Caliper "LONG POST"

I just received a couple books on AMC interchange.
It lists the corresponding Wagner book part number
(at the time). Perhaps this will help some of you.

Here is some information that I found in the books
regarding the Brakes:

73-76 Bendix Hub and Rotors were equivalent to
Wagner #60447. They were on the 74 Ambassador,
75-76 Gremlin and Hornet, 75-76 Pacer, and 74-76
Matador.
77 Bendix Hub and Rotors were equivalent to Wagner
#60457. They were on the 77 Hornet, 78 Concord,
77-79 Pacer, 77-78 Gremlin 4, 78 Concord, AMX.
71-76 Kelsey-Hayes Hub and Rotors were equivalent
to Wagner #60408. They were on the 71-74
Ambassador Javelin/AMX, 71-76 Hornet Matador and
Gremlin.

71-76 Kelsey-Hayes Caliper Repair Kit was
equivalent to Wagner #59177 (71-74 Ambassador
Javelin and Matador, 71-76 Hornet, 72-76 Gremlin,

This book also lists the hose interchanges and pad
numbers as well as the brake torques and
specifications for AMC 65-78. The book also lists
master cylinders, their corresponding Wagner part
numbers, repair kits, as well as other model cars
that they were installed in. I list these so you
can steal them from the other guys cars from
Detroit and not from another AMC:-))
