I believe a line lock works like this. After the tire heating burn out and car is placed up into the beams the line lock is positioned on by depressing the brake then engine is brought up on converter meaning throttle is brought up to rpm just below where your converter is set to grab. The line lock holds the front brakes locked as you bring engine up just below where your converter will grab, then when your light turns green your line lock switch is released by your fingers on stick shift and at that point your foot is supposed to be full throttle and car leaves in the rpm range you want it to instead of holding your foot on brake and the gas at the same time like a normal rpm ranged torque converter. I may have some things backwards here but I hope I answered your question.
@@brian5606 partly backwards. what you are thinking of is a transmission brake, which locks first and reverse gear together inside the transmission so the car can sit at full rpm when staged. Line lock is for the burnout, and you are correct it locks the front tires and releases pressure off of the back. The reason that it is not used to stage is that the rear tires would completely overpower the fronts and push them skidding forward if any rpm is applied, thus why a transmission brake is effective to stage.
@@brian5606 also these cars are stickshift with no torque converter. Transmission brakes cannot be used in manual shift cars with a clutch, they stage with the clutch and dump the clutch when its time to go
Lol wow Awsome shifting.I am little scared to bang gears like that on my old Muncie lol.Well if it breaks or snaps the rear end Fuc it.Just rebuild it again.Of swap it for A TKO👏🏽
Any tranny with sycronizers will hang up around 7k. To go like Ralph Ridgeway did in the mid 60s, you had to have a crashbox. Ralph was the originator of the stud girdles for the valve train and the bottom end main studs. Think 8 to 9 grand. He ruled MP back then. The modern shift plate trannys are like an M16 at a Revolutionary War reenactment.
Haven't seen slick shifi since sixtys
nice work
Dude, you’re a bad man. Nice and calm. Very, very nice.
Good driver! Back in the day I ran a 64 Galaxy 427 street motor, and that was fun, but this is a whole nother ballgame!
Wooooow gasser
Someone knows how to shift a standard.
Judging by that 55 in the other lane that was a damn good drag race.
Bad ass bro
Next time brother👊thanks for the ride...was a blast 🤝
and *that's* how you shift gears!
Pulling gears ⚙️

All business. Good move tightening those belts one last time.
One of the best engines chevrolet ever made
