T.C. rear axle question...

i installed a 87 t.c. rear axle with disc brakes in my 84. i took all the parking cables and brakets... even the pedal. my question is this , on the t.c. car the parking brake cables route on this small metal bar crossing under the drive shaft and the exhuast. well i have installed a 306, C-4 combo with an 2 1/2  H-pipe too. will the remaineder of my exhuast fit above the bar for the cables ?????? or will the exhuast go under the bar ??????

I just ran the cable under my pipe. I have a 3" single to 2.5" duals and the e-brake cable crosses right past where the pipe splits.

Me too, but mine was a factory 5.0/AOD combo. I used Mark VII rear cables.

Still have the bar with the cables clipped to it(as factory)... 2 1/2" exhaust routes over bar... Actually it is wrapped with header wrap and the exhaust sets on the bar... No hanger on "H" pipe...
