I recently did a motor swap on my 88 camaro sc, Im now running an edelbrock 600 and hei, I did what the tech article said to do about making a switch to lock up the converter but it dosent work. I used a lighted switch and heres what happens if i flip the swich it lights up but nothing happens but when i step on he brake the swicth light goes out until i let off the brake again, then it lights back up. I dont have the money for a lock up kit right now so i really got to get his working. What does everyone think it could be? All help is appreciated, thanks.

 

If it doesn't feel any different, then your connection is bad at the ALDL, or you have the switch OFF. Try flipping the switch again and if that doesn't fix it, play with the wires at the ALDL to get a good connection.

maybe try just a regular plain old toggle switch.

 

It turned out to be that the switch was hooked up wrong i had to move one wire connected to the switch to acc instead of ground, next time ill just use a plain toggle switch. Thanks for your help.
