Park Brake Cable install on a 62 Comet/Falcon

[@EdgeofEternityBillCameron]

Stephan, I was really glad to see this. I’m looking to install a parking brake in my ‘69. I’ve never done one before either. I’ve seen one now. This will make it easier for me for sure!!! Thanks!!

Hey Jerry, thank you! You too.

[@searchingforsalsa]

Thanks for posting this, I have a ‘61 comet that just broke the cable at the handle, same setup as yours. 4 minutes in and my main question was answered, gotta remove the handle. Thanks again!

Moving right along with it, looking good. I'm just getting started on my body work right now, searching for a aod transmission for my 302 right now

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Yes, I'm getting there, thanks Brian. Good luck finding a trans. They use to be dirt cheap. Everything has kind of crept up

@@pstreetgarage7304 the best I have found is from monster transmission and it's 1600, so I will continue with my search. Body work is coming along, I'll post a new video when I get a little bit further

@@briankalfus598 Awesome . I paid 400 for my tranny but it needed overhauled. 1500. Years ago I bought one for 50 dollars and threw it in an old Merc pick up. Ran perfect

Hey, may need some "fine tuning" *BUT* the cables are on! 😁👍 Glad to see more progress Stephan! 🔧🔩 Oooh yes, down with the green tape! 🤣

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Yes. Green tape is going lol. Thank you Zane !! Always good hearing from you.

[@galaxyflyer1]

Thanks so much for showing this. I have a 63 in need of this. Where did you get the unit that mounts on the tranny? I have a C6. Should be close to a C4.

[@pstreetgarage7304]

That is the transmission adapter because I did a V8 swap. 302 and c4 trans. The part came from Melvins classic Ford I believe.

[@sircrunch80]

Wow the parking brake is something i seem to always skip on my restos. (Automatic trans) and i need to get a clue and fix each one

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Ya, glad it's out of the way !!! Cheers

[@Whitecranekungfu]

Something else I wanted to say I... if you had pried up the two small tabs on the ratchet cable catch... It would have been easier to remove the bolt. Just like on a military rifle breakdown. And that's why I'm keeping the car up on the supports until the motor and trans are actually in I know the tape is on to protect the expensive to replace chrome trim...

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Yes. Higher the better. Those old cars are low

[@heavymetalcustoms3357]

Cool

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Thank you Sir !

[@Whitecranekungfu]

Well, now I see what I'm in for..... I'm gonna clean my pieces of rust and use frame paint to keep it rust free. You'll need goof Off for the tape glue.

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Yes. Next time out I will give it a good clean
