It seems to me that there was an adjustment procedure for the early cars like yours. Then again this could have been for the disc setups that I am thinking of.. someone else will know more than me.

front disc rear drum. im not driveing at the moment because a new engine is destined for it in a week or two but i drove it previously and the brakes work but the ebrake did nothing. i went in reverse and lifted the brake repeativly because i heard that might adjust something but that never did anything.
