E-brake help

hey everyone, i recently got my bronco up and running and now im just doing odds and ends on it. im trying to get my e-brake to work now. when i press on the ebrake pedal it goes to the floor but doesnt lock. it just comes back up. i moved the release handle back and forth and it still doesnt lock. any help with this would be great!

1979 ford bronco 5.8 4spd all stock

Thanks

I just had the same problem with mine. I adjusted the tension on the cable. That fixed mine, but you might have to work on your rear drum brakes if that doesn't work. I replaced my pads and rotor while I was at it anyway. It was time. Good luck.
