Ok I've spent a hour on here searching threads, and cant seem to find my answer.

So I have a 86 iroc-z28 it had a 305tpi I built a 355 carburetor engine. This has been going on for about 5 months with limited time. Now at one point in time I came to the conclusion that I need the TCI wiring kit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TCI-376600/
But now that its time to install the kit I am left with this question:: Why do I need it, I'm at a complete lose for words. I bought the tv bracket for my carburetor.

Can someone shed some light on this for me please?? Thank you.

 

The kit is to control the torque converter clutch.

 

Thanks for the response Apeiron

Right I did remember that, so it defiantly is need then? I feel like a dumb*ss for not remembering. still plugging the transmission's wiring in,right? What part of the 305 controlled this that makes me need this? so for the question's I would just like to understand what is what.. And thank again.

 

The ECM controlled it before you took out the fuel injection.

 

ok so I install this. but then I also plug the wiring into the trans like it was before? and the lock up was controlled by the fuel injection ok so its starting to come back to me. thanks a million.

 

That kit replaces the factory plug and harness that went to the transmission before.
