Bruce,
One parking/emergency (don't forget the emergency brake!) brake solution is
to find a 727 TorqueFlight from a 62 big block Chrysler. This was the first
year for the new 727 and the last year for a drum brake on the tail of the
tranny. I know this tail housing and drum will fit on any pushbutton 727
TorqueFlight at least up to 1965, and maybe later. It is part of one
solution for installing a 727 into an older Mopar with a tranny mounted
parking brake. It will mate to your 64 413 engine without the need for any
adapters. 1961 and earlier engines require an adapter.
