I got mine with the trans when I ordered it from Bowtie Overdrives. They sell the kit on their website.
It is really straightforward.
One wire from the fuse box goes to a brake light switch then splits. One of the split goes directly to one of the terminals (there are 4) on the trans (this locks up the converter whenever it shifts to OD), the other goes through a switch I mounted at the bottom of the dash then goes to the terminal on the trans right beside the first one (this locks the converter when the switch is turned on in other gears).
It's been 11 years since I did it so I don't remember which terminal goes with which wire...but I can look next time I am under there.
