yeah......im almost positive it does...i didnt take a real good look at it...i know what your talking about. i have some at work.

[4onFloor]

well you can plug it the old fashion way and put a screw or a small bolt in the vacuum line, or go the parts store and get the little cap that plugs vacuum ports

[ridge_runner]

haha i do too

[korndogg]

is that bad that im goin non lock up??? i was told i dont really need it.

[4onFloor]

cant honestly tell ya, i've always heard that they will burn up without a lock up switch, but i think that's mainly if you do a lot of highway driving

[korndogg]

yeah but im talking about a lock up converter..not a switch. im not getting a lock up converter so i wouldnt need a switch anyway.

[4onFloor]

this doesn't really apply to the swap that your doing, but it's got a few tips. http://www.transmissioncenter.net/SwapInformation.htm

[4onFloor]

ok, if your going with a non lock-up converter than ya, you'll be fine. i thought you were using the stock converter

[korndogg]

nope ....hey thanks for all your help

[ridge_runner]

so the pre 84 models had 27 spline and need the lock up switch and the 85 and up had 30 spline and dont require a lock up switch??

[korndogg]

yeah thats what that page said....

[ridge_runner]

so whats the deal with the switch? how do you hook it up, im just curious how it works

[korndogg]

personally i have no idea...im not great with trannys..

[ridge_runner]

yea im not too familar with alot of them

uhh it's been a while since i've been inside a 700R4. but i think there's a plunger in the front of the valve body that goes into the front pump with wire's running to a square connector on the outside of the transmission. seems like you jump 2 of those posts or apply 12v to one of em to get it to lock up. what most people dont know, is that on fuel injected engines, you can lock up the torque converter by jumping 2 terminals on the service port. cant remember which ones tho
