84 Bird rear brake cable disk vs. drum

I have rebuilt the brake system in the 84 bird. It has rear disk brakes. I put new e brake cables on, they seem to be too long. (By 3 or 4 inches - there is no adjustment on the e-brake lever mechanism) I suspect I have drum cables versus the disk cables. Can anyone please advise if the cables are the same length or not? Thx byron

Different. Check RockAuto for specific lengths (or probably any other parts store website).
