Okay guys, thought I definitely knew the answer to this but Rock Auto and Mopar parts catalog are making me second guess myself.
85/86 GLH's come with 220mm rear drum brakes. Normal N/A Omni's and other non high-performance vehicles had 200mm rear drums. There are two different size wheel cylinders to go along with the two different drums sizes (5/8" & 9/16" bore).
I always thought the larger drums would take the larger wheel cylinders. I just pulled a wheel cylinder out of one of my lower mile GLH's and it was indeed the larger 5/8" bore. Original? Can't be 100% sure of that, but vehicle has only 60K on it. I know I've never changed it the past 15 years of ownership.
Rock Auto and Mopar parts catalog seem to suggest that the non high performance 200mm (smaller drums) received the larger 5/8" bore wheel cylinders, while the GLH/SC and other vehicles with 220mm larger drums, received the smaller 9/16" wheel cylinders? HUH? The funny/sad part of this is I've probably replaced 20 wheel cylinders in GLH's over the years and always have put in the larger 5/8" bore cylinders.
Anyone have a definite answer or can shed any light on this?
