Master may or may not be shot, but the E-brake is not properly adjusted, as it is a mechanical and not hydrolic adjustment. Either the adjustable rotating thing in the caliper is not correctly moving OR you need to go into the console and tighten up the adjustable area holding the cable to the brake lever, or both. If brakes are worn, it may be that central caliper thing is maxed out. Replace brakes and see what happens.
P>S> Your e-brakes are on the front, as you are a pre-1987 model. I hate those brakes as I have no luck with them. Make sure you FULLY spin the central caliper thing all the way back. It is a royal PITA, but if you don't your brakes will lock up.
