Does anyone know how to adjust the ebrake on a 1987 5.0 lx vert? I have found several different ways to do it online, but they are all different.. One says to reverse and apply the ebrake. One says that there is a set screw in the backside of the drum <each side> and the last one says to remove the center consol and there is a nut in there that tightens them up.. I have the stock rearend .. They have a braided brake line running to the front of the car from each rear drum. Any ideas or how too's would be great..
One more thing, I need to install trailer lights on my car, do I have to get the converter? Or is it not needed?
thanks...

you can adjust it from where the ebrake is on your center consoul. it will have a nut on it and all you have to do it tightned it and it should work.
