I pulled a set of disc brakes off of a 1980 volare. I had started blowing them apart, and ordered a kit for them.
Problem: the kit does not match the calipers! If someone would take a look at these and help me identify the correct kit I need, please help!

What's your piston diameter? 2.75" I believe is what the B,E,C, FMJ cars used. Should be the same piston as any M body. If the pistons are 2.60" then it's a 73-76 A body caliper.
 

I was going to establish a new thread but I’m kinda thinking mine might just be the same as the OP. These have been on my ‘68 since I bought it. It’s just now getting to be time for some maintenance!

I’ll mic the piston when I get into them and take it from there….

'73-'75 are 2.60", '76 A-bodies got the 2.75" calipers the F-bodies got, so caution when grabbing one or mixing calipers....or You may wonder why the car pulls a bit braking.
