What happens when you do a power brake without the line lock? Will power of the rear wheels overcome the front brakes and the front wheels start to roll?
If it did not hold it before it is not going to with the line lock now.

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

if you can foot brake it and have it not roll, the problem is the line lock.
can you pump the pedal any harder prior to turning the line lock on? maybe you just didn't generate enough line pressure before locking the front brakes?

Two ways to go about installing that line lock.....The first way is how I did it on my one 70 Charger. The second way I think is better.
1) install it on the front, two real good deep pumps and hit the switch, you should not be rolling.
2) Install it on the rear brakes, hit your switch to lock the solenoid shut and your foot will be applying a stronger pressure on the front brakes than a line lock could. You have foot pressure versus closed pressure. Personally, I should have done it this way but you live and learn.

Didn't say it was legal. Just said people do it.
I've always ran a toggle switch.
No one has ever asked me about my line lock at tech, except for where it was mounted in relation to the proportioning valve.
I think most guys have a routine they follow at the line. Once you are set in doing the routine, it always goes that way
