Line lock recomendation
I posted this over in the Drag Racing section, but didn't go over very well.
So I 'll try it over here.......
Did a search and can't come up with much on the subject.
What line locks are you guys using and how was ease of installation?
give me some links and prices. Thanks

I had the TCI unit from Summit Racing and will be going that route again, got all the hardware locally as we have a HUGE fastener warehouse closeby :)

Don't buy from Cartek. They will take your money and send you the wrong part and never make good on all thier promises, ain't that right Dave. Many months have passed and after stating on this forum infront of everyone they would make it right and still nothing. Great service Dave :cheers: :bs

Re: Line lock recomendation (wallstAL)
Would someone explain to me how the line lock works and where in the breaking system it goes? I already understand that it locks the front tires to allow you to do burnouts but don't know how. Thanks. (Hope I'm not hijacking your thread, if so, I'll edit my post out)

Re: Line lock recomendation (crom)
Thanks guys for the heads up on Cartek. I am still looking for more info, but will check out the summit racing tip. Thanks
------------------------------------------
Now to crom, I am not all that knowledgeable about line locks either, but here is what I know.
A line lock is kinda like a check valve that, once the brakes are applied and held, you turn on a switch that would hold the fluid from releasing (the front brakes only). After your burn out (remember only front brakes are locked), you release the switch, therefore allowing your wheels to roll.

Re: Line lock recomendation (HawkIVette)
I take it that you mean the TCI 861700 kit. What fittings did you have to buy and exactly where did you cut and mount the Line Loc ?
How did it affect ABS ?

The line from the proportioning valve to the ABS block, there are two and you need to "splice" the line-loc between the one for the front brakes.

Re: Line lock recomendation (HawkIVette)
There are lots of posts on the line lock. Search archived and don't put in a
forum choice.
I believe there are different fittings for different years. I have an 03' and had to have the line from the master to the line lock custom made. The fitting was a different size from earlier years.
