T78 - HEADLAMP CONTROL DELETE
"Delete" being the operative word. My '00 WS6 also had RPO T78, because it was a US spec'ed car. Cars built for Canadian sale would have been equipped with auto headlights, and thus would not have had this "delete" RPO.

One advantage to having TC is that it comes with an adjustable throttle cable, so any slack can be removed if true WOT is not being attained with the factory adjustment. The non-TC cars don't have an adjustable cable, so if there is slack the process to fix this is much more difficult.
The upside to not having TC is a cleaner engine bay though. I generally find the feature (as it operates on these cars anyway) to be useless.

The part was 10261143 but has been discontinued. Guess you find one in a salvage yard from a Camero.

One button turns it off. This takes all of 1/2 second.

When I picked it up, I ran slop in it, since it was such a long drive (5 hours), now that I have it home and running, I did put 1/2 a tank of the 93 in there with the 1/4 of slop. Once this runs through, I'll fill her with the 93.
Here's a question that I was just thinking about earlier today about gas... I haven't done the math on price yet, but as far as OCT:$ ratio, would it be more cost effective to run the slop (87/oct) and then add some octane booster or just run 93/oct?
But yeah, I'm sure it need a good tuneup too
