    Does anyone have any pictures of how you set up your line lock on a GS? I have a Wilwood master cylinder with Prop Valve attached to it, and wondering where to mount the line lock.

    I made a mount for mine that uses the stud off of the power brake booster.

    Nah stock master but mounting location would still apply of course, I suggest putting the lock to the rear brakes jmo

    I thought it had to go on the front brakes?

    Nah common misconception, putting it to rear brakes is a lot easier just hold button then grab brakes and burnout vs pumping brakes then holding brakes then holding button then burnout

    And if by some chance something did happen to the lock your front brakes ie important ones won't be affected, just Google search rear line lock yellow bullet,class racer, or chevelle tech and read pros and cons

    Not sure how locking the rear brakes helps doing a burn out? Guess i have been out of the game too long.

    Your just blocking fluid to to the rear while you hold the car with fronts

    You wouldn't be locking the rear brakes. Press the button before applying the brakes to lock out pressure going to the rear, then apply brake which will only apply brake pressure to the front, locking them. Now you have more control of pressure feeding the front brakes.

    It seemed more logical to me to install it inline with rear brakes instead of using the fronts, might even end being safer if
    something ever did happen to the solenoid valve. Mine might get installed this weekend. Going to mount it on the inside
    frame rail and run the wires into the trunk and then to the front. I also decided to go with a lighted toggle switch instead of the button that comes with the unit. If I had a floor shift car I would have went with the momentary switch.

    If you use a line lock for burnouts, and most of us do, you do not want it installed on the rear brake line. Doing a burnout through the brakes stresses the rear gears and the brakes. Line locks don't block off the rear brakes, they just hold pressure in the fronts. Apply the brakes, activate the line lock, remove you foot off the brake, the rears release, the fronts don't.

    When valve is activated, there should be no pressure on the rear brakes, correct?
    I thought I would be able to flip switch (stops fluid pressure to rear),
    press brake pedal (now fluid pressure is at front only) and start burnout.
    the advantage that I see is that if your in the gas and you let off the brakes alittle your car will start moving forward.
    The option to do rolling burnouts seem more appealing to me.
