How do I install a Lockup Torque Convertor on a TH-350
I want to install a 2400 stall lockup convertor on my TH-350. So far the best information that I have is that my trany is NOT a TH-350C. As I understand it this trany would have controlled the lockup on the TC.
I am willing to bet that I currently have a non-lockup TC because the trany came out of a chevelle. However it doesn't currently bother me driving it on the street, but better performance is always welcome. I am assuming that when I install a higher stall speed convertor w/ the non-lockup that street driveing will begin to be a problem.
The root of my first question is "How to install a Lockup TC on my trany?".
The second question if it isn't possible OR not cost effective is "Would it be worth it to keep the non-lockup setup and go with the higher stall or keep the stock (1400ish) stall in the car and not fool with it?"

'84 Camaro w/ Large Jouranl 327 bored .030 over; 3.73 geared Auburn Limited Slip Diff. FlowMaster Muffler w/ Shortie Headers. TH-350 Built Trany Underneath B&M Mega-Shifter. Many Engine compartment Dress Up Mods. Edelbrock High Flow Water Pump w/ Flex-a-Lite Cooling Fan.
It is still under construction @ www.iserv.net~brodgers

Well, you've brought this up on several topics, but just in case it hasn't sunk in yet, you need a tranny originally built as a TH350C to ever have torque convertor lockup capability.

Never mind this question. I have been informed that this is not feasible w/out the TH350C version which I dont have.
