I also recently installed my Granatelli line lock kit. I thought the gold-coloured solenoids looked cool and added a bit of color character to the engine bay so I mounted them up high on the CAI shroud. They're wired to a black Hurst-emblem sidewinder shift ball that has a thumb button (I'll add a pic later) for control. I tried the line locks out during the Int'l drag event - very cool but could be hard on the tire budget.

I also took the opportunity to hand polish the valve covers. I moved as much stuff as possible out of the way and polished them in place. I got them acceptably good but I think this winter I'll take them off the car and do them up right.

Sorry for the quality of the pics - I think I need to hire John for a photoshoot.


Before line locks, polished valve covers, and air/oil separator


After (line locks, air/oil separator):


After (polished valve covers, -12 braided air/oil separator lines)

Black Hurst-Emblem sidewinder shift ball with line lock control button. I love this ball and button - much better than the T-handle I used in Saskatoon (kept coming loose). Note I also installed a red LED indicator (at the top of the shift boot). I'll probably permanently mount the indicator in the dash or console but haven't decided on a specific spot yet.

Ouch...tough hit steeda24. Nice job with the rebuild!

[steeda24]

thanks it is a little rough, the decal company didn't have the right color of grey for the front fender. so that looked a little funny, but i was just there to have a good time, so it didn't have to be perfect.
