'92 camaro parking/e-brake help

i have a '92 camaro rs, 305/auto drum rear. how do i adjust the parking/e-brake on this thing? i have an '88 camaro b4 and to adjust that there was a nut on the bracket that connected the drums to the e-brake handle, however my '92 does not have that adjuster nut, so how do i adjust the e-brake? it needs to grab sooner when pulling on the brake lever.


a side note about the equalier where all 3 cables go to, the drivers side seems to pull harder on the bar so when its just resting (or engaged) the bar is diaigol with the drivers side closer to the axle. dont now if thats normal or not.

Your 92 is supposed to be self-adjusting.

look at the cables when dropping the gas tank and relize the cables came out of their brackets giving way to much slack!
