'95 E Brake Cable
SUERED

Hello,
I just replaced the E Brake adjusting cable---learned that the adjusting sleeve (screw) cable actually runs to the right rear wheel disc brake. The job was not that involved except that when I had finshed and road tested the E Brake, it still would only have a small braking affect on forward motion. The cable is fairly taunt, so I am out of ideas on how to further adjust this. Anyone know what I am missing. Picture of work area shows existing driver side rear E Cable and hook up to caliper--this is unchanged:

That whole brake assembly looks pretty rusted up, does everything on it move freely ? I was doing the brakes on my gf's escort a coupel of weeks ago, i though she needed new handbrake cables but it turned out it was a part in the drum that had seized up on both sides.
Also there should be an adjuster screw somewhere near the pedal or handcrank for the brake. If you screw it in, it reduces the travel required to put the brakes on.
