Re: Looking for drum brake upgrade parts

" Hey Guys, I want to install  10 inch drums, backing plates and shoes on
" my 66  American. WE have no salvage yards that have AMC's in them (Crushed 
" immediately here) so if any of you have access to such used parts and are 
" willing to pick them up and sell them to me, I would be grateful.  I want 
" the drums and backing plates from an Ambassador or Classic wagon if 
" possible. Just the front ones.  Are the 72  Spirit/Hornet drums 10 inch? 

afaik all v8 front drums are the same 10" on all cars, so if that
hornet/gremlin is a non-disk v8...  and of course ambos had 10"
regardless of engine; also later rebels but not all earlier
rebel/classic.

wagon -rear- drums were bigger [wider] but afaik there's only one 10"
front.

" Do I need to change spindles?

i don't believe so.
