I don't quite understand. If I have the line lock on and then release the clutch in 1st and rev the engine, the car will sit there utill I release the line lock? Something to try on the streets this weekend I suppose, maybe leave some 335 tread and break a 1/2 shaft
A line lock was intended for drag racing. What you would do is go through the water before the staging lights to get the rear tires wet so they would spin easily. Then you'd pull up a bit, press and hold the line lock button which would hold just the front brakes, and do a burnout. This would clean any unwanted residue off the tires as well as heat them up for maximum grip at launch.
If your button or lever type of line lock is plumbed to the front brakes, you could turn those 335's into landfill easily, I'm sure. Just make sure that it goes to the front brakes. Every Pantera (which isn't many) that I've seen with a line lock type of parking brake had it plumbed into the rear wheels.
Where is the button or lever located? Do you see any of the brake lines under the front hood 'spliced' into? Mine is right next to the driver's seat.
