Ed, Thanks for the tip. The calipers I ordered came "loaded" so the pads are with them. I picked them up tonight, but didn't have time to open the boxes to see if what came in is the same as what's on the car. I guess I'll find out after work tomorrow. Most of the places around here don't have a listing for the '67-68 cars in their books. The fields are blank. The computer would come back with "unavailable". I'll be pleasantly surprised if the fresh parts are correct. I know some of the people here may have had good luck with Mitchell, but I'll convert my car over to the '70-73 brakes, or find another braking system to use, before giving him any of my money. Too many friends with bad experiences dealing with Mitchell.

Luckly I was able to clean the pads I had. This summer I found a set of pads on ebay througt Mitchell Motors.
