Re: rear wheel cylinders?

[farna@xxxxxxx]

All 1973 Series 01/40/70 (Hornet/Gremlin/Javelin) used 7/8" rear wheel cylinders with the K-H discs & V-8. IIRC the other disc types used the same. Big cars used 15/16" rear wheel cylinders. You should be fine with 13/16" or 7/8". Any Bendix wheel cylinder will fit, doesn't need to be AMC specific. 73 six cylinder Gremlins used 13/16" rear wheel cylinders, drums or discs.
