what controls the lock up converter in a 1983 pickup? i was going to use the trans that came with the 350 i put in place of my 6cyl ,but now i am going to use the 350 trans with lockup that was original to the truck. i think i read somewhere that the distributor controls the converter ? i know theres a wire that plugs into the trans for lockup but is that all i need ?
