line lock

[jaspermaggie]

I have a 55chevy and am thinking of going with a line lock. It have 4 disk manual master and prop valve. I have two front brake lines and will but both together on the bottom port. Any probles stoping it on the street?

The line lock shouldnt effect the way the car stops. You should plumb the port on the master to the line lock then one line out to each front caliper.

the line lock will not effect your brakes as they are now, you plumb the line lock right off the master cylinder were the front line hooked up to master. so you have a short line to in side of line lock from front master and front line into out side of linelock to front brakes

when you put on brakes and push button to line lock and let off brakes with button pushed, front brakes are locked

when line lock hasnt been acctivated brakes are normall like they have always been

what about my prop valve? I have two lines that come out of the master and go to the block. The block have two lines that come off the block for the front and one in the back for the rear.

put the line lock between the master and the block , on the line the goes to the front

lol - yeah, looks weird there - I popped the cap off while hoicking the motor around while the trans is out... Otherwise, I end up doing damage to the cap and to my finished firewall

I like using the Hurst button on the shifter. I dont have a Hurst line lock but the button is nice.

Here's my setup. I have both a transbrake and a rollstop so I needed a button for each. This seemed to be a bit busy so I decided to use a single button for both. Note the big black button on the shifter - this changes function based on what is selected via the 3-way rocker switch in the little aluminum box behind the shifter. The red safety supplies power and the rocker switch sets the button in either transbrake (as seen here) or rollstop mode (all the way to the left), or to nothing, with the rocker centered. I placed this stuff where I did so that you could find it and switch modes between the water box and the tree without having to hunt for things... Even with gloves on you can feel the power and rocker switch and the positive click the rocker makes lets you know when you've changed modes from one to the other.



The aluminum box was a cheap hobby kit box from Frys Electronics. I mounted the power and rocker switches along witht the green LED and then bolted it to the floor plate behind the shifter. This seems to work fine.

Nice part of the state.
