Default Line Lock Install

Getting closer to getting my car back on the road, Twin Disk clutch is in, new AR headers installed and now the line lock, remaing is the Wide Band Commander AFR guage and the alky pump install (replaced a leaking one). Some shots of the custom install that GotJuice? did on the line lock and note we deviated from some other suggestions on fittings to reduce the lines to 3/16 from the factory 1/4 the fittings. I ordered those items from my search on this section and Arnold (GotJuice?) told me it was a no go for him to down grade my line from the factory size (also the fittings were the wrong size to), so the summit line kit was a no go as they are 3/16, my fault for not asking the boss (Arnold) first. The Cartek lines that Mikes99corvette has installed are 1/4 so Cartek does it right

A couple shots without the alky tank installed



Several with the tank installed

I thought you needed to install the solenoid between the distribution block and ABS block and not the master cylinder and distribution block like you have it.

Which way is the correct way or does it matter?

Did you put the electric cut-outs in? Just curious to see how they worked out for you.

Actually, the way its installed it the best way. It instantly disables the Traction/act handling without hitting the button. Great for us old farts that forget and we dont look like a moron stalling it hehe

Gotjuice? has convinced me to upgrade to a true 3" exhaust instead of cutouts (another lesson learned ask the pro first before you engage the dumb a$$ button)
