I'm amazed, All I Did was mention temporarily using drums on the front
of the Ambassador to get it rolling and now there are at least three
threads going! Geez! Take a pill!!!

C'mon guys, there is no argument in the world that is going to make drum brakes superior to disks. I've worked on plenty of both, and I can say from experience that disks are much easier to work on, and need to be worked on much less frequently. The difference in price for parts has been negligible, sometimes the disk brakes have been very inexpensive (Ford, Nissan). If you like to adjust your drums all the time, great, keep them, but they are truly inferior to disks in nearly every way.
