700r4 with ECM, will they work with no carb?
 

Hey everyone, I tried searching but no such luck. My question is will my 700 still work after I removed my quadrajet?
Heres the back story, its an '83 C10 with a 305/700. I replaced my quad with a Edelbrock and swapped the dizzy for a vacuum advance HEI. Since I unplugged the carb sensors and the dizzy, will the ECM still lock up the converter? Thanks for any help!

I may be wrong but I don't think the computer is involved here. I have an '83 K20 and mine only had a vacuum switch and the brake switch.

i can't say for sure how long my lockout has been disabled, but i have a sinking feeling that it has never been hooked up. i used to drive this thing as a daily from 99-06. my transmission is still going good.

i also have an aftermarket carb (600cfm holley). as soon as i get that connection cleaned out i will plug it back in and hopefully it works.

You can put any carburetor you want on it just make sure your tv is connected in the proper geometry.

Awesome thanks guys! I was thinking it wasnt hooked up to the ECM but thought Id ask before I smoked something. Goldfinger, ya my TV cable is all hooked up and works good, I used the TCI bracket kit. Thanks again.
