ok i gotta dumb question. gotta 87 gt. replacing brake shoes. took driver's side apart. found a cable bout 8 to 9 inches long. i know one end hooks up to that spot just above the cylinder. where does the other end tie to? I assume its got something to do with ebrake. I would just look at the other side but its toast. think i lost a spring or something cause i got multiple items that need replaced including that cable.

It hooks to the top pin, and into the bottom of the shoe. here is a pic of the rear drum set up for you.
