Re: IML: budd rotors on ebay

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chrysler Corporation was the only company to use 4-piston Budd disc brakes
and they were available only on C-body cars.

1966-1968 Plymouth Fury
1966-1968 Dodge Polara & Monaco
1966-1968 Chrysler (all series)
1967-1969 Imperial

For 1969 all but the Imperial switched to Kelsey-Hayes single piston disc
brakes and the Impeial followed in 1970.

A-body cars used Kelsey-Hayes opposed piston brakes while the B-body cars
used Bendix opposed piston brakes.  Nothing interchanges between the three
brake systems.

American Motors used Bendix opposed-piston brakes and switched to
Kelsey-Hayes single-piston brakes for 1971, the same year as Chrysler B-body
models, although they returned to Bendix for the 1975 model year.   A-body
cars switched to K-H single piston brakes for 1973.    GM used Delco-Moraine
and Bendix disc brakes, while Ford used Ford and Kelsey-Hayes brakes.
Studebaker used Bendix disc brakes based on British Dunkop designs.
