Re: IML: 1966 Brake Drum Style

["john sadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

Perhaps they are for the 70's NYB's?  The 63-66 linings should all be the 
same. Even though the NYB linings are listed under a different part number, 
they look exactly the same to me. When the 60's linings got a little harder 
to find on the shelf, The parts counter guy managed to cross them over to 
70's Chrysler. I've used them on 63, 64 & 66 Imperial with no problems. At 
the time , those were on his shelf or at his warehouse & could have them 
there the same day.

Also, an easy way to install the anchor pins is to use a nut driver of an 
appropriate size. Hold the pin in place from behind & use the nut driver to 
turn the lock 1/4 turn & your done.
