Cuda rear end is up on jack stands. No brake plumbing in the car yet, just the foot emergency set up (new shoes). Can I start it up with the brake applied, put it in gear and ease off to let rear wheels spin in both forward and reverse and apply brake to stop? Oviously braking in between. Just put in a newly balanced drive shaft and want to see it spin

Yes the E brake will stop it, you'll be idling then stopping it w the Ebrake then shifting gears

That means then you already knew B body's had front b brakes then.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

If it is not too late, let me suggest putting a couple lug nuts on to hold the drum in place, if you aren't actually putting on a wheel/tire.

And keep in mind how fast the wheels will be turning...
