emergency brake adjuster orientation?

How's the emergency brake automatic star adjuster oriented? Star toward front or rear of vehicle. Also is there a good write-up on emergency brake adjustment? I did search to no avail. Thanks

Front, I think. (edit - I was wrong, according to the Rowley link, the star goes forward on the passenger side and rearward on the driver side)

The factory shop manual and AIM both have detailed adjustment/setup instructions.

Did you archive search? I know this has been discussed several times.

Glad to help. There's tons of good info buried in the archives of this board, sometimes it's a bit tricky to find what you need.
