T-56 w/ a carb engine?
I have been thinking of swapping my700r4 for a 6-speed trans in my 1987 Z28, i have already swapped engines and made it carburated. Besides messing w/ the speedometer mess (mech. to electrical) and the other things to make this work, what wouldn't i have to do, considering it is not computer controlled anymore? Thanks.

i didnt hook up a single connection on my 6 spd

thats the only that will get done and i guess the backup lights.

What about the wiring that only lets you start the car when the clutch is pushed down?....did you hook that up?

Theres a switch mounted on the pedals that lets you start the car only if the clutch is depressed. I have seen two different types. One is a pull type switch, the other a push style. Either will work fine. I ran two wires to the switch from where the neutral safety switch used to be. The need to be hooked up to the two thickest wires. On my car, I think they were green and purple, other years have yellow and purple, or something similar. However, after I wired my car up like this, I heard that all cars had the connector already in the wiring harness for the clutch safety switch. I went to my car and looked up under the dash, and yeah, I found the connector. Pisses me off for doing things the hard way when I could have done things neater and easier. I had been under the impression that the harness was different for an auto and manual car, so I never bothered to look.
