George,
There were 2 different Disk brakes used on the Bricks. You will
probably have to look at you calipers to tell which it is. The early
75 (and all 74 I think) used the Kelsey Hays. I believe there is a KH
stamped on the caliper some place.

Calipers 74 & Early 75 Kelsey Hayes Pin-type Bore 23/4"
used on 71-74 Ambasitor, 71-75 Hornet &
Gremlin, 71-74 Javalin, 74 AMX,
71-75 Matador
I don't know what the later calipers are as my car is 887 and the only
other Brick I've worked on is a 74. If you get any other info. let me
know and I'll update the parts xref.

The rear ends are the V8 rear ends. They are substantially stouter. The
way to identify them is by the number of bolts on the rear cover. 10
bolts is the 6cyl rear ends and 12 bolts is the V8 rear ends.
Hope this helps.
