66 emergency brake help

The springs are on the ends of the two cables inside the drums. A clip holds the ferrals in place in the backing plates.

-The cable from the handle runs to the lever under the tranny tailshaft.

-The lever pulls a threaded rod with a slip-on bracket on the end that retains the ball end of the rear cables. The tension is controlled by a nut on the rod that holds the bracket.

-The rear cables then run between the frame rails and floor into the wheelwells where a really crappy bracket somewhat holds them away from the tire.

-They then go through the hole in the backing plate, retained by a clip, and connect to the lever on the rear-most brake shoe. The springs are between these shoes and the backing plate.

Hope this helps, as I don't have pictures.

right hole wrong spring?

He may have it in the correct hole. It is a long spring. It attaches to the passenger frame rail right in front of the seat pan, where there are two holes. Then runs diagonally over to the long lever where the cable from hand brake asembly attaches.
HTH,

If you still need a picture, do a search on exhaust systems. Your bound to find one there.

HTH,

66 Runt is correct. Besides the springs in the drums (or calipers if you convt to disc) a long spring (greater than approx. 12"" attaches to the brale lever off the trans mount and in turn attaches to the front subframe. check out the shop manual, there is a diagram in the brake section

Here you go! Hope it helps!

Youre welcome pazcarguy! Actually that picture is the bottom of a Shelby Hertz that was for sale on Ebay a while back. However my 66 coupe looks very similar. I used the picture also to see how the parking brake linkage connected.
