You need a TV cable appropriate for the induction you have (as well as appropriate bracket). Adjusting this cable is the only "adjustment" needed, check archives for details or go by the book.

The lockup can be accomplished either with a manual switch you flip while driving, or with a kit from Summit/Jegs etc.

how do you wire this switch up?

 

I don't have the diagram in front of me, but one of the wires that goes into the tranny needs 12V whenever the key is turned on. Another wire needs to be grounded. Using a switch ground that wire when you want the torque converter to lock.
