J56 brakes

Do cars with J56 HD brakes have dual pin calipers both in the front and rear or in the front only?

All Corvette 66-75 J-56 brake calipers were FRONT-ONLY dual pin. The rears were conventional single pin.

1966-E67 used the exact same rear calipers as standard brake, including 1st design insulated pistons. The brake pads, front and rear, were different than standard brake cars, though.

For L67-75, the rear calipers used the 2nd design insulated pistons which were unique to J-56 as well as special brake pads.
