That or you need a tranny control unit like TCI makes.
But I think with the carb setup might as well just go
mechanical on the trans too. Lockup actuation is a
question though.

Well lockup is a clutch in the converter that eliminate converter slip while cruising , We have solutions for that. As for the TV cable its a cable that goes to the carb that controls line presure and shift points with the 700r4. LOKAR is a company that makes cables for various OEM and retro situations like yours.

I have a similar situation. Considering options in my 1963 Chevy Biscayne ( Impala ) Wagon . I would love to do the LSx swap with the elec trans but dont knwo about the costs. Saw a video on V8TV of a guy with a carb'd 68 Camaro running a 4l60e with the padle shifters.
Not worth it or? I wont be going to paddle shifters imediately but like the idea of that option down the road. That and it seems I can buy a 4l80e and not have to worry about it handleing the power. Any advice would be great.

So, how do I keep the lockup for some 4th gear cruising.
I will probably get a truck 4L80E, so, what spline is the rear shaft compared to 4L60E and what do I need to connect to my drive shaft?
