S197 Ford Mustang PMP Line Lock Kit Install

Continuing to provide race tech for the S197 Ford Mustang in our illustrated write-up series, the StangNet crew hopes that every late model Ford Mustang drag fan can enjoy our contributions.  In this latest installation, StangNet Staff member DarkFireGT shows us how to eat up some rubber while avoiding a thrashing on the rear brakes.  A PMP Line Lock kit does the trick and allows the Ford Mustang to put on a show in the driveway and heat up the rear tires at the track.

Kit Includes:

• 2 braided lines with straight connects
• 2 braided lines with straight and 90 degree connects
• 2 master cylinder line adapters
• 2 caliper line adapters
• 4 solenoid adapters

Tools Needed:

• Power Drill (With ¼” drive socket adapter)
• 13/16 Socket (for wheel removal)
• ½ Drive Breaker Bar / ½ Drive Extensions (for wheel removal)
• ½ Drive Torque Wrench (for wheel installation)
• ¼ Drive Extensions
• ¼ Drive Ratchet
• ½” Drill bit
• 5/16, 10mm ¼” Drive Socket
• 10mm, 11mm, 13mm, 17mm open end wrenches (line wrenches if available)
• (2) 7/16 open-end wrenches
• 1/2, 11/16 open-end wrenches
• Phillips head screw driver
• Body pin removal tool
• Crimping Pliers (Can use regular pliers, but crimping pliers are recommended.)
• Soldering Iron/solder/heat shrink tubing (Optional)

Materials Needed:

• 2 Stage Control Solenoids (I used Jegs Part No. 555-63000)
• 18 or 16 gauge primary wire (Several colors if possible/preferred)
• Brake fluid
• Momentary or rocker switch (depending on preference)
• (3) Butt connectors (if not using solder)
• (3) Ring terminals
• 18 or 16 gauge crimp-on disconnects
• Add-A-Fuse (mini)
• Self-tapping sheet metal screws
• Zip ties
• Teflon tape or paste

Installation times will vary depending on switch mounting location and previous experience. Expect 2-4 hours for installation.

Installation:

Step 1:   Cut off 1/2 to 2/3 of one of the wires and install a ring terminal on each solenoid.  Your ground will be right there, so not much wire is needed.  It does not matter which wire that you choose.  I chose the left wire on one, and the right wire on the other, so that I could best route the wire.
