Stupid question.....I'm putting a line lock in my car(77)and have the brake lines out.Which port on the master goes to the front brakes.Is it the one in the back or the front one.

540 - Where I come from you would not need a line lock. I just read your profile. At NHRA tracks they don't let slow cars do a burn out past the beams. When you line up there would be no questions ask if you rolled through the water in second gear an hit it. I would not subject a narrowed rearend four link to a line lock. Your going to put the boots to it bad enough anyway. Your wheel speed will be enough to heat up the biggest of slicks.

The only time you see line locks on powerful cars is for show of how to blow smoke. You don't have anything to prove! :thumbs:
