I have a 88 lx convertible that I just purchased a line lock for from summit.

The problem That I'm having is that my master cylinder is different than previous mustangs.

Instead of just two lines coming off the master cyl.
(one for the front and the other for the back)

It has two lines for the front, and one for the back brakes. Making both front brakes completely seperate.

Has anyone delt with this before. Im think of maybe just buying a new master cyl. that would put both front brakes on the same port.

Or do you think I could just install the line lock on one front wheel, but I would think that would make the car drift to one side as I do my burnout at the track.

.

Unless you want to do some really sweet donuts, I would suggest coming up with a solution for the lines. I think you will either have to do a master cylinder or find a fitting that will take them from 2 into 1 and then split with another fitting so you don't have to change all of your lines.

sounds like you don't have a propotioning valve in your brake setup. I think that is bad. Maybe you need to get one cap one line run 1 line to the P.V. then into line loc then out 2 the 2 front brakes.
