Emergency brake delete

After running without a while with a 4spd, I'd recommend a parking brake.

But, when I didn't have my parking brake functioning on my Barracuda, I used a length of 2X3 doubled at one end for a chock. I could lay it on the ground from the driver seat and let the car roll to it.

Then too there's these :steering: .........

I'm swapping to a 4 speed, and have a full parking brake setup on my bench to install. The car hasn't had one for the last 20+ years, and I only had 1 issue. Somehow the shifter cable (B&M Quiksilver) came out of adjustment a couple summers ago and it wouldn't grab park every time. I put it in park, got out, walked about 50 feet away and saw the car start rolling across the parking lot towards a bunch of other cars. If I had a parking brake, I would have still had the same issue, since who actually uses them with an auto? :D
