automatic Parking brake release question

[Brad Hogg <roadhogg@xxxxxxx>]

Same unit on the 67, yes.  I had one mechanism where the pedal would not
stay down and it was just that the mechanism was so rusty that the parts
would not move freely.  This prevented the little cog that holds the pedal
down would not engage.  I replaced the entire assembly.

Would this also apply to the Automatic Parking Brake release on a 67?.
Though it isn't a huge problem ,the parking brake has never worked on my
Crown Coupe.
It plain doesn't do anything.  The pedal won't even stay down when you press
on it. It has also never made any sort of vacuum hissing noise. I always
thought it was a gizmo ,or bracket of some sort built out of  unotainum that
had to be replaced.
 By contrast the old release it yourself ,parking brake on my 60 Custom
works like gangbusters!.
