I am running 11.75 on my '74 Challenger.  Bought the calipers loaded from RockAuto I believe.  These are the pin type calipers.

 :bigsmile: I have them on my car and I'm using the original pin style too.  Although I think Dan's pads look larger than the ones I have on mine.  I originally put a set of the brake master on my car but when I was having some braking problems with the rear I upgraded.  The improvement was significant but I noticed my ralley wheel rims took a chunk out of a corner of my caliper.  Finding the caliper, brake pads and rotor was reasonably easy.  The hard pieces for me to find was new pins and the caliper bracket.  Both took more time because I had to research where to find those peices.  I think they are more plentiful now than they were when I was looking five years ago.
