Line lock is a solenoid that actually locks the front brakes, so that you can do a brake stand and warm up the rear tires. As long as you hold the little button, the front brakes will stay on.
It's also used to prevent the car from taking off of the starting line too soon and can be used as a hill brake.

Odd,
I used a line lock on the rear brakes of my 1970 Chevelle. But then it was a FWD car Quote:

I had a line lock hanging on the wall for awhile , thought what the hell ill put it my Nova. Ok here is the prob, i have no instructions so i thought how hard can it be inline out line . After hooking it up i get in push the brake down and the front brakes are locked you say it works not so now to unlock it i need to push the button , its unlocks the car takes off and i step on the brake to stop and it locks back, so now i need to push the button again to go . Whats up with this i tried turning it around and hooking the lines the other way and it dons't work at all. Any help here . Also i tried to change the wires neg pos still works the same. Thanks

i dont know if this would work or not but would it work the same if you had one of those proportioning valves on your brakes and just have all the fluid go to the front??? or would that cause problems

Uuuh, got it backwards
Line locks kind-of do the opposite to what everyone has said...
You use your brakes like normal at all times. But, when you want to do a launch and keep from rolling, with your foot already PRESSING the brakes, you hold the line-lock button. This locks the pressurized fluid (from your foot-pressure) already holding the calipers into your rotors from returning to your master cylinder. Then, when you release the push-button (which is supplying 12V to the solenoid that is CLOSED (hydraulically), the solenoid allows the pressurized hydraulic fluid to return from your calipers to your master cylinder. -Kustomizer |
