As you can see by the pictures, I have hooked up the new HURST LINE LOCK, however, I must of hooked up the lines wrong or reversed them. When I flip the switch, press the brakes...Nothing. Please see if you can see by the photos if I did it wrong? Thanks

ive never had to deal with them but dont u have to press the brake and then flip the switch?

i helped once on one of these. IIRC you're supposed to run the front brake line(from the distribution block, not the MC, through the top hole of your hurst line lock control. then you run a new line out of the out hole of the hurst unit to a Male T block. one side goes to the left, other to the right and you're done for front line lock. all other holes should get blocked off.

See, that makes better sense...Is there a diagram of this set up??? Thanks

Hey Mjr...Yes, I prob have the 2 lines backwards on the front side. I'm god to change those around and see what we get. I was reading about the Vert frame deal...WOW some harsh words were being slung... Are you good with chassis and staring set ups? If you are, this is my set up and I am getting some very sloppy steering? Could this be due to coil overs? Shinnies?

I have a very simialar set up on my 85 and it doesn't feel sloppy just with the skinnies I wouldn't want to road race..lol........sloppy in what way???

The steering is so sensitive when launching and going though the gears...Actually, I raced the car on Saturday and prob lost a 10th due to spinning so much. I also have a steering shaft knuckle rubbing against the header collector which I was able to radias the corners helped a bit. Is the shaft coming out of the fire wall sub post to have any play, side to side? I assume it does?

yup yup, exactly what i was talkin about. i remember seeing that diagram now. same one we used when we did my buddies line lock

well no steering suspension component should have much play if any, what you need to do is hold the tire steady and have someone rock the steering wheel back and worth so as to not move the tire, while such is done, inspect tie rods, steering shaft and rack mounting points , if to much freeplay exists , locate it
