The line lock works fine with anti-lock brakes. I installed mine about a year agao andit works flawlessly

It will work with ABS because once you activate the line loc, your foot isn't on the brake pedal, so it doesn't know the front brakes are engaged, therefore, it works. Make sure ASR is off.

My line lock is installed between the master cylinder and the anti lock unit. The locking will not hold the car no matter how hard I push on the pedal before applying the lock engagement solenoid, whats wrong with this ?

Have you tried pushing on the brake pedal after engaing the line loc? Or did you bleed the brakes after the install?

What the line loc does is it doesn't allow the brake fluid to return to the master cylinder after you release the brake pedal. So you pump up the brakes , hold pressure , hit the LC button to activate and release the pedal.
Thats it. If unit is installed correctly it should work. :blueangel:

So John, you just cut the front brake line(s) near the master cylinder (before the ABS) and plumb in the solenoid?
