Wow I should learn not to drink and post sorry bout that guys. Let me clarify things. I was at the track the past week in and got to play around with a line lock installed in my buddies mustang. Since I plan on taking my f c to the track soon I figured I'd look in to gettinone along with a few other things. I have read that do ing to a dual brake line peace on our cars it is easier to buy a special model from hurst thats has separates chambers for the 2 lines. I have yet to find this model, can anyone link me to it or tell me how I can find it. Sorry for the confusing post to start with but labor day weekend is a fun time!!

If you do have the 2-channel front brakes, then you have no choice.
I don't know of any manufacturer that makes a 2-channel, single unit.
The Hurst model is only one channel.

You either gotta buy two of them - one for each left front and right front brakes, or Y in the brakes lines you a single line lock solenoid and then Y out to your brakes.

Would it it be a more reliable system with 2?

Two line lock solenoids:
* easier to install - one for each front wheel
* more electrical wiring

One line lock solenoid with y-adapters:
* more complex to install due to y-adapters on hydraulic side of system
* more tubing and adapters to install due to Y-in and Y-out

Each option has it's own advantages and disadvantages.
If it were me, I would get two line lock solenoids and just install them inline of your existing hydraulic brake system (for the front wheels).
