issue with gslse swap
I have a 84 gs with drum rear and swapped it for an se disc rear, everything was direct swap, very easy to do. My problem is the brakes feel like there dragging, I exchanged the e brake cables and had to adjust the nut on the e brake handle all the way out, so they would even connect, but the nut on the e brake handle is only on by a few threads, is there something im doing wrong? The brakes feel like theyre rubbing and not free. Any help is appreciated

rotaryjunkee are you using the correct e-brake cables for the rear disc brakes? The cables for the drum brakes and the disc brakes are totally different. I did the same swap and the e-brake install went smoothly without a hitch. Never had to adjust the nut on the handle.

The drum rears and disc rears are different, you cannot use the drum rear cables on the disc rear, is there a length difference between gsl and gslse? I changed the cables from the center back, not from the ebrake handle all the way back. Could that be my problem?

That I don't know about. I swapped in a set of cables from a 12A car but it was still an 84-85 chassis going into an 81-82 chassis. This car happened to have a large flange rearend though, but I don't know how to tell whether it's an 83 small axle of 84-85 big axle. Didn't want to pull the axles to find out.
