Line Lock Revisited

[Captain Chaos]

Could you put a line lock at the rear of the car to set the rear brakes for burn outs? Or just run one on each side of the rear?

If you keep the stock distribution block, you'll need 2 line locks (1 for each wheel). The stock braking system is a diagonal split (RF/LR and LF/RR).

You could also do like me and convert to a front/rear split system with a line lock and aftermarket prop valve...

Yeah I knew about the diagonal deal. Someone suggested doing the aftermarket prop valve.

I got rid of diagonal braking in my SC and ran an adjustable proportioning valve to the rear.

but why don't you just use the ebrake? does the same thing.

I have 2 locks on the rear of my Z, works great.

E-brake would be ok on a rear drum car if it is good working condition, You'll probably break the e-brake on a rear disk car after a few trips to the track.

I hadn't broken mine yet (in about 30 passes), but there's a lot of hand shuffling going on to operate the shifter (to pull 2nd gear), hold onto the steering wheel, and pull the e-brake release, all in the burnout box. Especially because the e-brake release on my '89 is on the left.

I either need a line-lock, or an extra hand...

Yeah, line lock on a toggle switch (instead of just the momentary button) helps in a 5-speed ;)

My SRT-4 will sometimes drag the rear tires and pull itself out of the water box. I don't want to have any problems with the Horizon doing that
