Default Line lock switch

For those running a line lock, what type of switch are you using and where did you get yours? Thanks in advance.

I used the cigarette light hole and just sandwiched the laminate pieces to hold it in place (I did not want to cut the console).

The NOS and Edelbrock momentary switches are the same; color of the button is the only difference, with NOS being Blue, and Edelbrock being red.

The Lock switch here is an Edelbrock Momentary ($12-14)




Now I am cutting the console and going to this.



Those momentaries are from Radio Shack. About $4 for a two pack (one switch is Red, the other Black).

Sorry off topic. First of all did you make that switch pod up or make it because it looks great. Second I see that EFI like switch what does that do is that to switch between 2 maps and do you know if I can do that with HP tuners.

onewheeldvl83 thank you for the compliment,

Yes I did make it. It has became an obsession

The EFI switch is for Custom Operating System 5 (COS5) which is an EFI feature for running custom tables for Boost or Nitrous. The way it works is you splice into the PCM (Red Connector pin 56 IIRC) and set the toggle up to ground. When the switch is open it uses the regular Tables. When the switch is closed (PCM Red Connector Pin 56 is grounded) it uses custom tables. Will be testing this set up the end of the month.

As far as I know HPT does not have this feature.

Search through some of my old post I did a thread on it a few months ago, I am pretty sure I posted the custom tables you can have with COS5.

EDIT here is the Link to the EFI Live Switch
