Default Do you have a line lock?

I am getting ready to install my line lock.

Where did you mount the switch?

Pictures?

Using a line lock, you won't wear your rear brakes when you do a burnout.

I have one but it's not in the car yet. I want to mount the switch in the ashtray location.

Get a aftermarket know and use the button on that. I think it could be hard if inside the ash tray to flip the switch then try to grab gears. I have the lock installed and getting ready to complete the wiring. Just my .02

in the ashtray as well with the little activation led where you tap out your cigarette in the ash tray. Makes burnouts a million times easier

i bought the switch panel for the conv. top that goes on the console where the little storage compartment is in front of the shifter. it was 7.00 or so from the dealer. i then got a lighted rocker switch that fits perfect. i can't get a pic right now, i'm in the middle of clutch and k-member swap. alot of guys like it when they see it, it looks factory.
