just curious how much space should be between the rotors and the pad??? i think my emergency brake is stil on just a touch? thanks good estimation would be fine? like butterknife thickness?

Check Ogre's cave in the brake articles, he has an excellent article on the rear brake caliper adjustment, along with the proper measurement needed.

i read all of that on the brakes i didnt see anything about the spacing

Scroll down to the Shimmy, shimmy, shake section.

Yeah, you need to use Ogre's procedure because the pads will lightly touch the rotor no matter what due to the spring clip design that holds the pads on the slider pins.

The procedure that is in the GM manual worked perfectly for me. Both sides are even and the e-brake really holds well. I have an '87 (2 actually) so of course the braking marginal at best. Anyway, if you don't have access to a manual or for some reason don't want to check into Ogre's procedure, I'll regurgitate the GM manual's steps here.
