Re: Line Lock

I wouldn't advise using it instead of an emergency brake. Over the years almost 30 years on and off in the towing business, I have learned not to trust them for longer periods other than loading, winching or recovering, and even then if it isn't level to block/chock the wheels.
Had a few unlock on me in the early years.
For drag racing, have no idea, I always had the rear brakes adjusted loose

Re: Line Lock

Make sure you have a good tubing bender. Line locks are only meant to be used for less than 30 seconds. At least that is what the instructions say. I use one on my 66 Chevelle. At the track they say only to use them for the burnout, and that's all I use it for.

Re: Line Lock

The mounting location of the mallory box could be better...they do not like water...at all

On the line-loc...just follow the instructions.

Re: Line Lock

Ive had a line lock for years in my truck. I use it for burnouts and man it works slick. Tubing bender is a must I wish i had one years ago. Pump the pedal a couple of times and hold it down... push the line lock button and tramp the throttle. Let go when you burn enough rubber

Re: Line Lock

I've Had Them On A Couple Of Trucks & They Are Great. I've Had Them On Fwd Trucks (try Backing Down A Steep Wet Clay Hill During The Rain With A 4 Speed). They Work Great If You Buy A Good One. Cheap Ones Are Well... Cheap. I've Used Em For Years Without Any Problems. John

Re: Line Lock

I originally like mounting them on the fire wall....now they go inside..behind the glove box.

Re: Line Lock

Run no filter rather than THAT filter. Nice and explosive! I used a linelock on my "stang" and it worked great for burnouts at the light. People wondered why your brake lights aren't on and you are just pouring on the smoke!
