FNG here that used the search bar…

I’m sure this is a beaten horse and my apologies I have searched for awhile before I posted this.

Swapped a 700r4 into my 74
I’m now fighting TV length and throttle bracket.

Universal bracket from the parts house doesn’t work
The donor trans is from and 87 camaro
Smallblock 350 with a sweet edelbrock carb. Just a driver on air ride, no performance really.

Looking for the correct bracket or a general idea where to find one off an another GM vehicle?
Found 2 online but they offered another piece for the throttle cable. Trying to buy one cry once type deal

Do I still need lock up hooked up with a stall converter?
Am I looking at a potential failure later down the road?

Lockup dosent need to be hooked up.

What carb are ypu running?

What tv cable are you using? The one from a camaro is too short you'll need one for a truck (idk how or why it's different but all research I did says it is)

A pic of carb where Bracket is would be helpful

Don't drive it until tv is correctly set trans will fry itself in a hurry

Adjustable, I like it. Needed it for my sniper setup since everything got taller

Are you near a salvage yard?

Slammed with Trailering Mirrors.. that’s a new one! But I like it

You don't need lock up on a TH350C. You should have lockup on a 700R4. Needed to lube the overdrive planetary gear set.

@NickTransmissions

Nick, Didn't want to highjack the other thread but hoped you might answer a couple of questions regarding TV cable setup and the pressure testing mentioned in the other thread. Back story is I bought this 86 K10 from a guy I was working with a few months ago. He only had it for awhile...

700R4 TV cable - weird adjuster?

I have a 700 R4 and what appears to be an unconventional screw type adjustment for the TV cable. I read the instructions that are linked through summit racing‘s website here, but can’t figure out what the best way to adjust my TV cable would be. I have 4.10 gears turned by a 350 through the...

Best way to make damn sure it is right is to drop the pan.

Yes it does, or trans overheating will be a fast follower. Th350Cs its not as critical.

Do I still need lock up hooked up with a stall converter?

Yes - converter stall engine speed is irrelevant when it comes to whether or not the tcc is active and working. That said the higher the stall speed, the more heat generated all other things equal so make sure the trans is adequately cooled.

Lockup absolutely does not need to be hooked up. It's nice to have but not needed

Yes it does...You'll generate a ton of heat without it. Ive seen enough of them and 200R4s come in where folks didnt install lock up kits and trans was scorched inside as a result.

You can convert the trans to take a non-lock up converter via Transgo's conversion kit and simply install a converter without a clutch in it but beyond that, if the converter has a clutch, there needs to be some means of locking the converter. 82-87 700r4 valve bodies can do it in the valve body via a TCC mechanical lock up kit; these same valve bodies can be installed on to any 88-92 700R4 with that kit installed. Doing it that way eliminates the need for any electro-hydraulic or computer-controlled lock up.

That's just inaccurate information it's a feature not a necessity

I agree you'd think a guy with transmissions in his handle would know that. But that's the world we live in. Just a world of parts changers

Yep, you certainly are. Ive rebuilt over 2000 700r4s. How many have you done?

Dont bother answering, its a rehtorical questions...off to the ignore list you go.

What carb are ypu running?

I’m running just the edelbrock 600cfm carb. Yard sale find.

What tv cable are you using? The one from a camaro is too short you'll need one for a truck (idk how or why it's different but all research I did says it is)

I’m using the TV cable from the Camaro. To me it seems too long like I have 8” stuffed between trans and the floor.

Are you near a salvage yard?

Yes I am, but it’s getting scarce unless there’s somewhere else I need to look?
