Default Got Line lock?

Very easy install.
1- Hurst Roll control
1- install kit
First fabricate the mount and firmly position line lock. Install weatherhead adapter. Bend first line at a 90 coming out of the distribution block, run forward 6", bend 90 degrees up and than 90 degrees into the block. Second line run 2" out of line lock, bend 90 degrees down, run 4", bend 90 degrees to the front of the car, run 1" bend 90 degrees into cylinder.

No, no line lock, but I have a bit of an off topic question here.

I emailed C5Noir-Levi, and he was kind enough to give me some tips on the clutch I am about to put in.

When I asked about aluminum flywheel and balancing, he told me that you had some experience here.
I'm planning on using a Fidanza aluminum, 0 balanced.
What's the deal here? Do I need to have the flywheel balanced the same as the one on the car, or can I leave it at neutral.
GM externally balances the engine, so the flywheel and the dampner are keeping the thing in balance. A 0 balance would throw this off.
Have I got this right.
Thanks.....Tony

To keep this simple....the flywheel and pressure plate need to be referenced and 0/neutral balanced. The ls1 has no external weight on the crank or flywheel so it is internally balanced.

Exactly the same as my install Phil. I used bought everything from summit except for the two 3/16 to metric weatherhead adapters.

I didnt cut the stock line or the lines in the install kit, bent it up, made an aluminum bracket to hold it on the washer fluid reservoir stud.

I'm really happy with how mine turned out.
