After reading the above several times, I'm still confused. Stated simply, what's your question?

Re: ebrake

There needs to be a little more info provided... Disc or drum car? The e-brake system is pretty simple. A cable runs to the axle and puts manual pressure on to the drum or rotor.

Re: ebrake

The answer to your question is: BOTH.

Look at this thread and check out the picture that Chevy86 IROC-Z posted. It shows you all that you need to know:
