Re: [Amc-list] 66 American (6 cylinder) brakes

["Swygert, Francis G MSgt 436 CES/CECM" <Francis.Swygert3@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can check my 64 and 67 American TSMs, and 69 TSM, at home. Could
someone check a 65 American and 68 TSM for Wagner master cylinder and
brake applications? I plan on writing a Wagner brake article after all
this. I'd like the info posted to the list as well as sent to my e-mail,
but I can glean from the list. I'm not trying to keep the info for AMC
Magazine readers, just the final article... ;> 

That's why I'd like to see the info posted here for all, and to my
e-mail so I don't miss it. I forwarded this message to my personal
e-mail (farna@xxxxxxx).

Ok,

John Elle's post and others got me off my tuckus to
check the 66 TSM on the 66 American brakes.

Wagner master cylinders were used with manual brakes.
Bendix master cylinders were used with power brakes.

The Wagner master cylinder, BTW, has the front piston
connected to the front brakes and rear piston
connected to the rear brakes, just the opposite of
what is common today.

Bendix brake assemblies were used on cars with the 199
engine.  Wagner brakes were used on the cars with 232
engine.

Manual master cylinder bore is listed as 1" front, and
7/8" rear.  Wheel cylinders are all listed as 1 1/8"
front and 15/16" (rear) bore diameter.

I did remember correctly:  my 66 American has a wagner
master cylinder and bendix brakes.
