I always wanted to have a line lock on my original 1967 Charger, but I don't like the idea to modify the originality of the car. I checked on Ebay for a discrete valve... I found a Whitey B-43F4 Brass Ball Valve - 1/4in - 0.9 CV - 40 Series for $15.00 + 4.95 shipping and installation 2 hours. Works Great

That looks like it is set up to block pressure to the rear brakes. That Is how I set up all the ones I do, works great on automatic cars.
The only Carbs I care about are under the hood!

If you drag race the car you might want to read NHRA rulebook gen reg section 3.1 "All line-locs (electric or hydraulic) must be self-returning to normal brake operating mode". I am not trying to be a jerk just wanted you to know

No more dangerous than a misadjusted, as in "cut off" adjustable proportioning valve. They will both shut the rear brakes off................BUT, you can actually use an electric one right where you have that valve. Flip the switch BEFORE you push the brakes, solenoid closes.......viola, no rear brakes

Guys quit hating, friend of mine has a 65 Belvedere been a race car sense 72 has a ball valve. Set up and has never been hit/turned on by accident works fine and can use as a temp parking brake while its on his trailer. Lot of libs showing there colors. Make shur you don't have that full race cam and a spool on the street either.

What I don't get it is you mention originality and then you cut a hole in the floor and modified the brake line.

Understand, but still not a good idea from a safety standpoint. Weather you are cutting out the front or rear brakes, it should be done with a momentary switch operating a solenoid and the system should be energized with a SPST toggle switch ( with an arming light if possible ). A little more work, but you could hide most of it easily enough.

I used to drive a tow truck that had a valve like that to lock all four wheels during winch and recovery work. You should have no problem with it, good luck!
