How do you adjust e-brake Okay i have searched everywhere and cant find much info on how to adjust the e-brake.
It goes all the way up and doesn't do anything. someone said there is an adjustment on the caliper but i'm not sure where exactly.
anyone know?

Is there any tension at all?
If the cable is loose you can slowly reverse and gradually pull the e-brake handle to see if it automatically tightens, or you can go under the car and rotate the adjustment nut manually - you can't miss it, just follow the e-brake line.
Rear tires should turn with very little to no resistance when spun by hand, if you tighten it too much they will be hard to turn.
**edit** Not sure if the reverse/brake method works with LT1s, but the manual adjustment method does
