okay its not what i want but they will do...but the car i was pulling the entire braking system off of had an interesting(well ive never seen it)engine and trans in it....the car or truck,whatever you may call it,74 el camino had a damn olds powertrain in it

the dead give away as i wasnt looking at the topside of the motor was the 3a heads on it and as i was underneth i also saw the tell tale b.o.p. pattern th-350...would that be an odd combo im not to savy on the displacements and i didnt get an engine code but i would assume 307 or 350 but definate on the the 3a on the heads...oh well my car will stop better now but man the guys at the local auto parts store were confused when i asked them for pads for my 68 cutlass and told them to give me 74 el camino pads...they aint so bright...

now i know why i dont work there anymore...got tired of working with idiots.
