I got a vacuum switch under the hood and a relay at the brake switch to kick it out, works just like factory.

Where did you get the vacuum switch and what model number was it?

It came in the painless wiring kit I got at Summit. I just looked and it was $161.00

Yeah at that price you can forget it. I have a wiring schematic from someone up here that uses a hard switch to lock up the converter and a brake safety switch.

Yea I don't think i paid near that much for it , That seems wrong to me It's way too spendy. maybe it could be had from someone else. :shock:

Do your lockup the right way and dont pay out the *ss for a bs kit.

I never had any luck with the vacuum switches. Complete garbage in my opinion. I ended up just running the trans in 3rd gear around town because the darn thing would lockup too low and while accelerating it would lockup too quickly.

The B&M kit is far superior.

Thanks for that link "stomis". That answered a lot of questions that I was trying to figure out in other posts.
