1300 hp mercury comet brake failure crash

When I had my trans out I checked everything under the Dart and the emergency brake cables were a little saggy, I guess after 52 years they stretched some! They are fine now. I always use the emergency brake when I park, now it's actually doing something!

PARKING brake, not an emergency brake.

when did that change? It’s used for parking, not emergencies.

as for the rest of the brakes, nothing to do with this, it’s a stuck throttle, that’s it
