rpo codes for brakes

Just wondering what the rpo code for rear disc brakes on a 84 camaro would be… went and got a new right rear e-brake cable for drum brakes and it was to long, so now I’m going to try the e-brake cable for a disc rear end…. Not sure if it would matter but lets say my rear end has been swapped out b4 from a disc rear end to a drum rear end, would I still have to use the e-brake cable for a disc rear end?!?!?

J65, 82-92. If you have a disc brake rear, you need disc brake cables. Drum rear, drum cables (I think that's what you're asking). Check the following for more info:

As above. If the current rear end has disc brakes (regardless of what was there before), you need disc brake cables. If the current rear has drums (regardless of what was there before), you need drum cables.
