There are several ways to set it up.. Try a search on "lockup" and you'll find lots of useful threads... The easiest way would probably be to wire it up with a relay and a manual switch..

TCI, B&M, and a company in california called bowtieoverdrives all make kits to lockup the converter in non-computer controlled cars. Very simple to install.. I have the kit from www.bowtieoverdrives.com.


All range from $75 - $125.

Mind you...this ONLY works if the tranny and computer are still connected! If not, then just run the wire from terminal "A" on the tranny.
