Another clean idea I used was to use Painless Wiring's ashtray panel with momentary switch. It's advertised for a nitrous purge but I wired it for my line lock. Very clean. Open the door, do the burnout, close the door.
I remember installing my Hurst under the front bumper just out of the ABS module. With the flaring tool, it was cake.
does anyone know if the slp kit would work on a 96-98 GT?? I've thought about wanting to get one if I keep my car but can't find anyone on one for my 97.
