Does your parking brake work ? How did you adjust it and did you use the SS brake kit ?
All 3 of my C-3's are sticks, and you can bet my parking brakes work just fine, TYVM!

How did you do it? I have done mine by the book, and tightened the cable 10 times. They are still not worth a crap.
I just rebuilt a set of TA's with the SS kit.... I guess I'll see how good (maybe) it works....
Anyways, Sniker, Gene....... I have a 5spd, no auto... I need a PB.... , hopefully this works.....
I have a lot of parts that might make your PB function.... PM me and the stuff is yours.... :1st:
:1st: Thanks man, but who needs a PB in Florida with Mt. Dora being only 30' elevation???
:drink:
I still can't figure out what you said Gene, but one thing I think I did understand--- and my reaction is: WHAT THE FUCK does whoever the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is have to do with whether or not you can make the e-brake of your car work properly?????
I can make the clutch of a 50 year old 4-speed Harley-Davidson motorcycle transmission work like warm butter--something very few people in the world seem to be able to do. If big G says he can make a Corvette e-brake work, then I will By God listen to him & follow his words.
And there is good reason I call it an "Emergency Brake" rather than a "Parking Brake". Experience!! when I have needed a goddam fucking back-up braking system to avoid a crash and I thanked my lucky stars it was there! I will go step-by-step following big G's instructions to try to improve my e-brake performance because if he can do it then so can I. I don't give a DAMN about who my 'legislators' are if I can bring my car to a halt before I t-bone somebody at an intersection or go over the edge of a mountain pass if I have a mechanical failure.
