Re: 1959 got bigger brakes... since when?

I get you there, I have a 92 4.0 ranger that I bought to fix and sell or use as a daily beater. Engine will run but has a dead miss. Thought I would hook my scanner to it and no dice, no scanner connection on the early 92 Ranger. No distributor , crank triggered and it fires two cylinder at a time. Enough ranting about my OT mess though.

At least Chevrolet didn't decide mid year 58 that they needed to upgrade the rear brakes. I've run into few mid year Chevy changes and they don't put less braking power on a six cylinder car than a V8 car. You could order the "police/taxi" brake package on some full size cars if you knew to though.
