Now, before we go any further keep in mind that the applications varied, there were a LOT of inconsistencies, "mistakes", etc. Generally speaking... Most convertibles, and most HP manual transmission cars (340,383,440, etc.) had them. Some ended up getting only fronts or only rears.

I have it's brother in the garage right now, same exact car down to the colors, and it does not have any! Last edited by Rhinodart; 09/18/15 01:19 PM.
