E Brake
 

I am working on the last few things to get the 5.0 inspected and get it on the road.

The E Brake doesn't work. The handle ratchets like it should, but feels like it doesn't have any tension behind it.

I live in an apartment so sometime its a little tough to get underneath it :Angry:
and look around. Does anyone have any suggestions of where I should start?

if u have stock brakes, u need to pull the back drums off and adjust the e brake nut on the brake on both sides. The shoes are probably worn to hell and it isnt grabbing.

Sounds like a great start. The breaks have felt a little weak and that was my next project.

Might want to start by making sure the cable is even still attached. My '82s cable had come off on the drive home.

Did it come off above the drive shaft or at the rear axle?
