Ebrake cable length...?

    Hey guys... I just asked this question on the teambuick board, and then went to George's site and got some clarity, however, here it goes:

    When I get back to the states in three weeks from Afghanistan, the Skylark is going cross-country. Ten years ago, I did a frame swap on the car with a '68-'69 Chevelle unit, including the rear end, with the smaller brakes, and an offset driveshaft U-joint.

    Now reading on buick performance, the Chevy units are different than the bop units...

    As a dumb high school kid, I didn't bother to hook up the ebrake cable because the intermediate cable was too short. Now as a responsible adult, I want that ebrake.

    The big question is this: Should I use a '68-'69 Chevelle intermediate brake cable, or is it the same as a Skylark unit?

    Logic tells me yes, the Chevelle Cable is shorter, since I am using the rear end as well. Can anyone confirm this, or are there other things I need to swap out as well?
