To me the calipers look like the ones used on 77-up Hornet, Gremlin, Pacer, 78-up Concord, 79-81 Spirit, and even 78-81 Jeep CJ's used the same caliper.

I agree with Dennis, Bendix, newer. |

Another vote for looking like the 77+ Hornet, etc, caliper setup.

I am always willing to learn more about our cars. I have the "big" Bendix brakes from a 75 Matador on one of my 68's. What is it visually that identifies the OP's brakes as being from a later model? Thanks!

thanks ramblinrev and Steve
the calipers are clearly cast Bendix and appear to be the same as 75-77 ish years for the Hornet, Matador, ect.

Am i right to think that the steering knuckle, spindle, hub/vented rotor would also be from the 77 ish Hornet, Matador, etc? what about the upper control arm? Is that 72-74 Javelin? and how did they modify the spring/shock on your car (upper tower)? |

UCA looks to be '70-up stock AMC.

Looks like big-bearing Bendix to me, '75-78 with the standard 70+ upper control arm. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but caliper piston is 3.1" on 75-78 and 2.6" after '78. That should tell you which Bendix caliper you have.
