i am almost ready to drop my 355 chevy (yea yea, a chevy. orignal motor was removed before i got it) into my 442 with the original 200r4, objective number one is i need to get this car to the court house so i can get it inspected so i can get it put in my name, has to be driven to get it done so does the lockup even need to be connected to drive it? number 2 in order to make the lock up work what should i do? i have seen the 15 dollar kits on ebay and also the 180 dollar ones that have some type of controller on them, i am cluesless on this one since i am use to th350 trannys, 2 of 3 of my cars will have 200r4s so i need to figure this out asap. thanks!
 
you can drive it without the lockup. Try to stay off the highway until you do. The cheapie kits use a toggle which you have to remember to turn on and off. The expensive kits do this for you. I am cheap so I use a toggle switch when on the highway.
 
the bowtie one uses a pressure switch also, the one in the trans.
