Hi All (700R4 in 1985 305 EM4Ecamaro)
If I remove all of the emissions stuff, I don't think the computer is working or various sensors because with most sensors disconnected I get no engine light and my mechanic friend hooked up a code reader and it said "no data found" Plus all this stuff is rusted to **** and may not be working anyway. (trying to clean up engine bay-what a mess) However, I am very worried about TCC and I don't understand it either (a 4 speed guy-never did anything with an automatic)

Question 1.: can I drive around town (along way away from that) or on short highway trips (30min or less) AND leave the trans in 3rd gear (1:1 direct drive/ 3:08 gear) do I need to worry about burning up the trans?? _ From what I've been reading it is mainly a 4th gear (overdrive) issue.

Question 2: Are there any other TCC considerations or emissions related stuff I should be aware of that will/may affect the trans in a bad way?

Question 3: From info received here, it appears that I just need a non computer carb and vac advance HEI distr to do away with all emissions for engine running purposes, and the TCC should have some kind of "swich" to lock the converter in overdrive-which I am not wanting to mess with or have the money for?

Question 4: Does anyone know is an OLDSmobile quadrajet from a 70 or so 350 engine with fuel line in front can be adapted to connect to the stock 305 manifold, with a "modified" fuel line?
thanks for your help
