ebrake adjustment is a thumb wheel found behind each rotor, just take the wheels and rotors off and you'll see them

and did you plug in the abs sensor in the rear? 3 channel (no tcs) or 4 channel (tcs)?

Isn't there a cable from the ebrake handle the runs under the car, and meets the cable for the e-brake itself? This was how it was on my s-10. The juncture where the handle cable meets the brake cable was adjustable with two bolts, I believe.

I have yet to look at my car, but it could use a little adjustment as well.

When I pull up the ebarke, only the last 1-2 clicks will keep the car held. Anything less and the car can still roll if on a down hill. I always leave it in 1st too, so I tend not to worry about it.

If F-body's have this same 'cable juncture' that I mentioned above, I would venture to guess it's below the rear seats.

The cable junction where one cable splits to 2 cables is under the car under the seats above the driveshaft but its not adjustable.
