ok here is the part number of my caliper? what is it from?

I believe that is a casting date, 3/16/75. See if you can find pictures of middle to late 70s Lincoln Versailles, Mercury Monarch, Ford Granada calipers. It is just a shot in the dark.

I think you are onto something but the first digit looks like a 5

Roy, I may be wrong I believe the 516C date code is correct. It expands out to 5 = 1975, 16 = 16th day, and C = 3rd month or March.

Combining ideas from a couple of the posts above, maybe the calipers are from a 75 Lincoln. Just a thought.

This is what a set of EBC pads look like for my 73 -- should be the same for 71.
