Small update to show engine RPM at speed in overdrive and how I hooked up the lock up torque converter. See the original swap video here: • TTA Performance - 2004...
One of the tricks you may have heard of with the turbo Buick community is to put a lock-up switch in the ashtray or somewhere accessible. It's actually fairly simple to do and you can lock up the converter manually if you want better gas mileage. Even if you forget to unlock it while coming to a stop, it unlocks during first gear. There are people claiming better E.T. in the quarter at the track with the converter locked up as well. Basically turns the car into a shift-free manual transmission with no slippage
Nice addition Joe. You now have the best of both worlds, (3.42 and OD), and calibrating the tranny with the vacuum sw just makes it even more fun to drive. "Almost" as much fun as a stick. :) (Thanks for posting)
456 is better with 27 inch tires better e.t. original pressure switch use relay and brake light switch to trigger. Extend TV cable to accommodate carburetor location. With a quadrajet make the pulling device have a 1.1in. radial swing starting at about 15deg. Towards the steering wheel. At a idol
