to start a new post, since the last one went astray, i took a look. here is the poop :D the left is the 14" wheel that fits over the disc brakes, the other 14" wheel does not. i hav all kinds and the 3 or 4 knubs that would hold the dog dish hub caps on has nothing to do with how to tell them apart. the way you tell is the slot holes. the one on the left has straight edged holes and the one on the right has oval slots. but the reason the one on the left works is because it has much less back spacing. http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/FO_FDYFO/wheels.jpg

Thought the original question was about installing disc brakes on a drum brake car. The original 71/72 rims were the same for both the drum/drum and disc/drum car.

i dont even remember what the original question was anymore, but there was some confusion on if 14" wheels would fit on discs or not. maybe the confusion was all mine. ? graemlins/clonk.gif

The original post was about everything to do with brakes, in no particular order. Wheel fitment was one part of it, though.
