its a valve that goes in your brake lines so that you can bring your rpms up in gear and not move (for racing) its usually on the rears my dad had it on his 73 camaro but he had it on the front so he could do nasty burnouts

lol and now he yells at me when my car smells like burnt rubber yet theres a pic of his car and all you can see is the headlights shinning thru the smoke

The simpler answer is it locks the front brakes and lets you do a burnout without power braking it.

I've never seen them on the rear? Every drag strip car uses them on the front.

That's the only instance where I'd think a line lock would be installed on the rears; a front wheel drive vehicle.
