Parking Brake Set up

Post by GTX158 » Mon Aug 18, 2014 8:08 am

Just got my car back from the paint shop and just starting to put things back together. It never had parking set up when I bought the car, could anyone post a few pictures under there car where everything goes? I'm lost and the drawing that came with the kit is no help. Thanks

These photos of my car probably don't help too much but worth a shot. I actually found great reference photos in the YEAROne catalog. I think it was a (71?) Charger.

The small hook goes in the trans crossmember. It just hooks in the middle
