E-Brake Wont Adjust!! Need to pass SAFETY. 90 Dx Rear Discs
So I bought a 90 Civic Dx hatch for a winter beater. It has rear disc brakes swapped in the back. Previous owner has no idea what car they came from (neither do I)
Whne I bought it the ebrake didnt work, you could pull the handle but there was no tension. I was hoping it was simply an adjustment issue but I guess not.
I popped off the cover and started tightening the nut (clockwise) until it got to the end and the spring would allow for no more adjustment (spring was completely scrunched)
Now I could pull the ebrake and there was a lot of resistance, like you actually had to PULL the handle now. But I pulled it out of gear and the car still rolled.
What do I do?
This is one of the last things I need to do in order to pass safety

Check to make sure the cables are even hooked up, and make sure they're the right cables. Take a look at some cables off of an Integra with rear discs or a CRX with rear discs from the factory.

Well obviously the cables are coonected right? being as the tension on the ebrake handle changed when I played with the screw
Ive never even seen rear disc brakes before so can you explain to me how to adjust them and what Im looking at and where I would find what I have to do?
