Getting ready for inspection and realized the emergency brake assembly has been removed.

Will this brake assembly work on a 64 Valiant?

If you can wait till after the Mopar Nationals, I have all that e brake stuff from my 65 Dart. The handle and first cable is still on the car.

Yes I can! Thank you. Please PM how much you need and I will Paypal ASAP.

So I assume the same assembly works from 63-73?

So the 65 assembly won't work with the cable kit listed on EBay?

Probably not; however any rear cables from each side connector to the brakes from a 63 (maybe), 64,65 and 66 would work with the e brake lever as long as the correct forward cable is used.
 
I don't understand what you mean by "assembly"? The mechanism in the car may work as far as I understand(not sure) but cables are different lengths for different years. If you look at RockAuto, they list the length for different years and body styles.

I just replaced all the cables on my 66 and found a 73 donor but the lengths were all wrong. Just got them at RockAuto.
 
To be perfectly "correct", the e-brake handles are probably different too. In 1964, the plastic pull is wider between L & R sides, whereas I recall they were symmetric in my 1969. I forgot how my 1965 is. Also, the plastic handles tend to crack and fail (unsafe).
 
1971 is the cut off year for the early E Brake assembly. Early cars had both cables routed to the driver side of the car with one cable going toward the front of the car. 72-up has one cable per side and then a longer intermediate cable that is hung from the trans cross member with a hook.
