line-lock nightmare

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

In my younger years I had the same problem on my first Nova. I never could figure out what the root cause was, but learned to live with it. I think the solenoid was not being activated properly, but... I found that by rolling a bit, then hitting the brakes hard - and the button, and ramming the gas pedal, the system would work. I didn't use it too often, and when I had the 6 banger we sometimes had to rock the car forward to unload the rear tire(s) to get them to break loose Didn't have that problem with the V8 though
