My pic shows exactly how the cables are interconnected. Further if you can get the cables I could provide you some help with connecting them. My favorite lady and I put them together off the vehicle and made them work. Its is very strange what happens when the pedal cable is pulled. I never expected the two lever cables to shorten thus pulling the emergency brake wheel levers.

apparently in 97 there were two park brake designs, yours being the first, you may need to go to the dealer with your vin to find the correct parts needed.
