Disc & Drum: Description

Service brake system is a diagonally-split, dual hydraulic circuit with tandem master cylinder and vacuum-suspended type power brake unit. Front brakes are Bendix automatic-adjusting discs. Rear brakes are leading/trailing type drum. Parking brake is mechanically actuated on FRONT brakes.

A Hill-Holder is incorporated into primary brake line from master cylinder. The Hill-Holder is used to permit easy starting while on a hill. Hill-Holder uses a Pressure Hold Valve (PHV) to control fluid flow to and from brakes. PHV is linked to clutch pedal and is also controlled by gravity.
