Pedal mounted 2 step switch

Just my opinion, but I think in order to make the brake switch/2-step work you're going to need a brake pressure gauge plumbed in there too. This way you'll be able to get some consistency with your brake application.

Lew, to me, this would seem to be the ultimate in consistent use of a two step on the brakes. If you were to stage every time at the exact same pressure, the distance and time required to release the two step would be the same.

I've been using the 2 step since 1996 and I have a switch on the dash. Do the burn out throw the switch then once in high gear turn it off. It's such a habit that while at the Nitro Jam in San Antonio ( footbrake class) I kept reaching for the switch. A brake pressure gauge would probably keep you more consistant . The factory 64 Falcon brake light switch that screws into the master cylinder is what I use.

A friend of mine wired his to the brake light switch on his 72 Nova at first and it worked well. Then he drilled and tapped the master cylinder to use the Ford pressure brake light switch and he says its reacts quicker. He doesn't have a line lock but does use a low gear only switch for the 2 step.
