'71-4 setup would be -kelsey-, not bendix.  similar to mopar setups of
about '70.

i like the late spirit amx - concord wagon [and a few others] setup,
as the calipers had a long run - through the '80s on eagles and jeeps
- and it also has 10" rear brakes which had an even longer run - early
'70s through '80s on v8 amcs and jeeps as well as some of the late
6-cyl cars -- but the scarebird is gaining on practicality.

10" v8 drum brakes wouldn't be a bad step up either.
