hey guys.
First off as a new member i would really like to say that its great to finnally find a place where i have access to a world of knowledge from all you.Rather than just throw a couple questions at my mechanic buddies.You guys seem to really know ur stuff.

I've got an 84 with a carbed 355.I'm about to install a new 2500 converter with lock-up.I know my 700r4 has the lock up feature but i'm curious how these transmissions are controlled right from the factory because this car doesn't never had a computer.Am i goin to have to remove and reinstall any lock up devices while installing the new converter or is this a straight forward parts swap?Also, would i be better off changing this over to a manuelly contolled switch if i plan to frequent the drag strip.

 

How sure are you that the car never had a computer?

As long as your lock-up works currently, you don't have to do anything when you change the converter.

 

I'm not totally sure.i was just going with the thought that most gm cars except corvette were all carbed till 88.or so i thought.am i wrong?

 

Just because it was carbed doesn't mean it didn't have a computer. Unless you're in Canada, or another "export" country, your car had a computer.
