I don't know how many years it spanned but a '60 Plymouth with a
TorqeFlite had a drum on the tail of the tranny for the e-brake. When i
dropped in a manual, I didn't have an emergency brake. No big deal until
a state trooper asked me to demonstrate the effectiveness. Next step was
replacing the rear axle with one that had one and kludging up the
linkage. The car wasn't exactly factory stock when I got through with it.
