How do I tell what rear end I have?
Ok, I am new the Ford scene and so far, I LOVE IT. I am an Ex-Chevy boy. (Don't hold that against me). I bought my car a year ago May and the guy I bought it from knew nothing about the car. He was selling it because his brother had just past away. It is still a 4 lug car but has rear disc brakes. I know you can get them out of the Turbo T-birds, Mark 8's, etc. but I need to know how to find out exactly what I have. Is there a specific tag or number on the caliper that would clue me in? I need to put brakes on the car. I also see I need a valve on my master cylinder? Could someone fill me in more on that, too? Would I be better off converting it to 5 lug with drums? Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks and GOD Bless!

RE: How do I tell what rear end I have?
The rear is a 8.8 rear. The brakes my be the corba brakes. I think most of ford rear brakes look are the same (at least look the same). Take the pads off and go to the parts store and look up pads for a 93 cobra and see if they are the same.
