I have recently replaced my tired L98, T.P.I. motor with a fresh 350 carb set up.

Does anyone know if the T.V. cable from a 1987 T.P.I. 700R4 is any different then a T.V. cable for a carb motor?

It all fits together fine, but I was wonder if maybe the working part of the cable length may be different?

My new set up is all old school, mechanical fuel pump /70s type H.E.I. , early 70s Rochester carb etc. The Trany was rebuilt with Raybestos clutches, brute shell, stage II shift kit, a hydraulic lock-up kit (no wires), I.T.P. 2400 stall converter etc.

Or would any of the inner workings of the transmission or valve body be any different or require any modifications to work correctly in a none T.P.I. system and a none computer controlled engine?

 

yes, the tv cable is different for a carb application. it will hook up but will not work right. you need a tv cable for a carb application.

as far as the lock-up, you still need the wiring for the lock-up solenoid. i've never heard of a completely hydrualic application. you can put a hydraulic valve assembly in the lock-up bore instead of plugs, but you still need electricity to actuate the lock-up solenoid.

 

Thanks for the answer . So I need a cable from a none TPI carb car, ok. Anyone know if the inner TV cable spring or valve body is any different in the relation to shift points?

The superior lock kit works good and does lock-up the converter without any other wires. My tranny has no speed sensor, and now a mechanical type speedo.

700-R4 Hydraulic Lock-Up

"700-R4 Hydraulic
Lock-up Package (Superior K017
Problem Solver)"

"The lock-up valve and sleeve was used in early valve bodies 81 through 86. The later valve bodies, 86 through 89 kept the valve bore, but were non-functional. 90 through 93 valve bodies were produced without the valve bore. As long as the bore is in the valve body, the hydraulic package will apply.
This kit includes 5 different springs giving ed choices.
This kit includes all valves necessary.
It allows non-electrical operation of lock-up.
No more searching through cores looking for the inner valve."
