i'll be watching this post. i will be installing a 360 w/904 tranny into my 42 dodge truck with a 69 b-body 8 3/4 rear. was wondering what to do about the emergency brake.




E-brake is easy!
Just use the ones inside the drums on your 69 8 3/4, and connect the cables to the one originally from your truck, if that cable is any good.
Really, if you manage to get the motor, trans, rear axle, wiring and other brakes functioning, the e-brake should be a walk in the park. I have been know to have driven more then a few miles without a functioning emergency brake, and have lived to tell about it. We have an 04 PT that has been on the road for 10 years and 100,000 miles. I don't believe I have ever even tested the e-brake. Gene
