I have a 86 camaro 305 I want to switch to a older style quadrajet and vacuume adv hei dis. How do I hook up the tourqe converter to lock up?

 

Loads of aftermarket kits out there for the lockup.

 

Just apply a 12 volt source that is interrupted when the break peddle is pressed, to the "A" pin on
your tranny's plug.

You may have to change the 4th gear psi switch to a Normally Open switch if your current 4rth
gear switch is a Normally Closed switch.

If you have a 2 wire solenoid, wire one wire of the solenoid to the 4rth gear psi switch (switch
must be a single prong switch or ground the un-used prong on a 2 prong switch), and the other
wire to the "A" pin on the connector in the tranny's case.

If you have a 1 wire solenoid, you will have to use a 2 prong Normally Open psi switch, and wire
the solenoid to one if the prongs on the switch and the other prong to the "A" pin of the
connector on the tranny.

This will automatically lock up the TC in 4rth gear only.

If you use wire nuts they must be the hi-temp ceramic type.

ive neve rhad ot modify lockup converter wires when i swap on non CC carb and HEI on my vehicles including third gen F bodies, caprices, pickups, etc

no issue here

swap and go

good luck

 

AFAIK the only way it would still work properly is if it was a canadian non cc car in the first place. From what i understand the lockup on the canadian cars is just a vacume solenoid from the factory.

 

I had to re-wire because my tranny had the Normaly Closed 4th gear switch. Just swapping and going wouldn't have worked for my car.
