" Just a thought in this. I was looking at the brakes on the '79 Lincoln 
" Towncar my buddy is parting and they were 2 or more pistons per side (it was 
" dark and the fin vented alloy wheels were still on so I couldn't see the 
" other side) It also has Hydroboost (I have the booster and master off it) 
" and the hugest rear drums not on a truck that I have seen!

you haven't seen many '60s boats.  several had 12" drums.  many
weighed as much as a truck; my '67 continental booked 5300 empty.

in my napa book there is no '79 towncar.  marks, versailles, and
connies only.

the '79 connie and mark had 11" drums and the same big bendix front
calipers amc used '74-8.  also optional was a rear disk setup with the
same calipers used on the versailles.
