According to the Bricklin and AMC web pages all AMC V8's had the
same brakes from '71-'76 so no help there. This listing from the AMC
site:

Front Disc and hub:

3210408 - 74 Matador, Ambo, 71-74 Hornet, 70-74 Gremlin

3229565 - 75-78 Matador, Ambo, 75-76 Hornet, 75-76 Gremlin, 75-76
Pacer


If they're the same; why is there two different pt#'s and which is
the correct one?

A side note; the AMC hubs have a different bolt pattern than the
'Vette.
