A: Ever notice how you can push/pull the axles slightly? This can also 
account for differences (and worn wheel bearings would throw it off too) I 
use pieces of steel angle iron drilled to fit over the studs and measure 
between them.

Nope! I mean 56.5" I had it pegged at 56" for a long time, but
the last credible report I got was from a guy over at the
AMC-forums. He used a blum bob to mark two points on the
concrete under the rear of his car and measured between the
points. He said it was with drums in place. Now there could be a
slight difference between amc-15 and amc-20, I can't recall the
one he had.
  I have an amc15 out and one in my car and someday when I'm
healthy and before I yank it out I will take and exact
measurement.
  I excluded the dart axles as I am promarily interested in
"modern" disc brake equiped axles. Plus I don't want to end up
with a worn out unit that needs a total overhaul,gears, posi and
disc brake swap. If I was talking old school, I'd include the
Mustang 8" and Maverick 8", both good candidates for fit and
function.
