Default line lock on rear brakes?

I recently bought a BBC 3rd gen camaro, line lock was already installed on rear brake line. Everwhere I read u put it on the front so u can lock the front down while doing a burn out.
I have read on here a few guys putting on the rear to get away from ABS issues, thus keeping the rear from getting pressure while u hold the petal down.

Sounds like it will work both ways... Thoughts??

It will work both ways. I would only do it on the front if I had a manual trans, that way you wouldnt have to work 3 pedals at once.

I heard that some were mounting it before the abs sensors or some chit like that, but not 100%. I would also like to know how to do it. I read it one time long ago but since then along with many other things I forget.

mines on the rears, keeps pressure from getting to the rear calipers when the line lock is on. i just put it in the line right before it goes to the rubber part that goes to the axel
