Re: tcc
Wire a manual toggle switch to the TTC. Don't forget to switch it off before coming to a stop or it will stall. Or just disconnect it and don't use lock up

Re: tcc
My last car I went from TPI to carb and never did wire the tcc back. I never had issues but I didn't daily drive the car either. Made a few 100 mi trips though and a good many passes at the track. In saying that as a $100 insurance id probably go ahead and wire it up to a switch like Bob mentioned for long highway trips if nothing else.

Re: tcc
Thanks Tuned Performance. I found a post were i can put a vacuum actuator on it like a vacuum modulator that will lock it while cruising then unlock when WOT. It can also be locked in VIA a toggle switch and turn off when pressing the brake. Sounds a little complicated but once i lay it all out it shouldnt be to hard.

Re: tcc
I assume you know about the TV cable and TV correction brackets if you are using any other carb than a quadrajet?

Re: tcc
I thought about the lock-uo kit through monster but I wanna make sure that it will disengage when slowing down just in case I leave the switch turned on. There is a how to to make it vacuum operated and also work with the brake switch. There was a post about it let me see if I can find it.

Re: tcc
Referring to the diagram above, the way I read it, you already have +12 volts at terminal A via the brake switch. All you need to do is connect to pin F at your ALDL connector which connects directly to that tan/blk wire (D on trans connector). Run a wire from pin F to your added switch with the other end connected to ground. The brake switch will automatically unlock the TCC when you apply the brakes.

i have a 3 prong switch i can use. the 3 poles are labeled POWER-ACC-GROUND.
would i just take the wire from terminal F from the ALDL and connect it to the ACC switch pole then wire the GROUND switch pole to a chassis ground? and leave the POWER pole alone correct?
this is a lighted switch. is the POWER switch pole only for the light in the switch?
see attached pic.

Re: tcc
i have never wired a switch to complete a ground so this is probably a stupid question and i am probably over thinking this.

Re: tcc
That switch you have normally switches +12v and the ground you provide to it lights the bulb inside. Right now I'm not sure if you can accomplish the same thing by switching ground instead.
Assuming your brake switch wiring is still present and working, +12v should already be present at terminal A of the trans plug. This also assumes that your car's wiring matches the diagram above. To complete the circuit, you need to provide a ground (through a switch) to terminal D to complete the circuit. If the ALDL connector is still present, then you can use the wire on pin F to connect to since it connects to pin D on the trans connector.

Also looked at my brake pedal, the switch for the tcc 12v is still there. I will make sure that is sending voltage as well.
