Quote: Although the Scamp had a fairly stock drivetrain, it did have upgraded wheels and brakes that most likely played a big roll in the event.
Tires yes. Brakes I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. It was a very short course.
What brake did the scamp have. Look like 11" rotor on some sliding piston caliper (stock or mustang 2 piston?) The drilled rotor would be worthless on that short course.
How would 9-10" drums compare to that kit though? Did slant A-bodies come with front discs as an option at that time? Granted it is a short course, would it be long enough for brake fade to develop in drums?
Yes /6 were always available with disc since 1966. More likely to see a /6 with disc in a '72 than a '66 for sure.
But when you said upgraded brakes, I'm thinking Willwood or something. Might be just a common simple inexpensive Late A-body or F-body disc swap.
