Eldorado/Seville e-brake
Eldorado/Seville e-brake C10 LS Turbo conversion getting disc brakes. I bought the 85 Eldorado rear calipers with e-brake.
Looking for a little advice on how to adjust the e-brake? Bled the brakes and they are working well, the e-brake however is not. I have worked the e-brake pedal a few time but no change to the brakes grabbing.

I wouldn't call it the worst ever, have you ever driven a vehicle with mechanical brakes? Hahaha!
Ken is right on getting different rear brakes. The design of the parking brake on the Eldorado calipers is terrible.
For factory parts I personally like 1998 to 2002 F-Body rear brakes as they are simple, reliable and easy to come by.

Call CPP tech and ask for the correct adjustment procedure. I looked but couldn’t find it. You have to pull the arm/lever and use a wrench not just swing the arm back and forth.
The instructions that come with these kits suck.....
They are fine once adjusted. But until you do it right I’m surprised you got brakes at all.

I know they suck, I'll rarely use them but I need to have them for an Inspection.
I got it done, little weird. I could not get them to adjust using any procedure I found online. What I did was remove the lever, rotate the adjusting nut 1/4 turn, and reinstall the brake lever... that worked sweet. Brakes and parking brake work perfectly now.

no the ones used on the earlier sevilles and same era trans ams are worse
even the dealers mechanics at that time wouldnt mess with them.
you must used the e brake almost every time you drive it to keep it properly adjusted
