307 TO OLDS 350 COMPUTER HELP!!

[Carcray6262]

alright thanks for all the info i got one more question....as mentioned before am i going to be able to do the non ccc dist and carb....does it matter weather i have a lockup or a torque converter....

The computer controls the lockup converter based on TPS, RPM, and road speed. Without the ECM, you need a different method for locking the converter if you want to use it.

What would i need to fix that? Is a difficult thing to do?

well you need to figure out if there is a locking converter or not. If there is need to know what transmission. Then you need to order the apropriate retro-fit kit. availible through companies like TCI, Painless, et cetera .... but you need to look for this BEFORE you start orderring things.

If it's a 200-4R, it has a lockup converter. There should be a square, four pin plug on the driver's side of the trans. Usually only 2 or 3 of the pins are used.

Try typing in "converter lockup kit"

And just to clarify, ALL automatic transmission have a torque converter. I know a few of your questions sounded like you were wondering if there was a converter at all.

Stay away from the TCI lockup kit. Its absolute garbage and doesn't work properly in my experience.

The B&M kit works much better but it comes with a higher price as well.

You can drive the car without the lockup function working. My Custom Cruiser has been that way for a year now.
