I finally found a 700r4 tranny. I have to go pick it up tonight and then I open her up and check out the guts. I ordered the lock up kit / wiring kit on line. Finally after three months I might get this project to move...

What are you using for a lockup kit and TV cable?

1971ChevyTruck · 04-22-2008, 03:42 AM

I am using the EZ TV cable system from Bowties Overdrive. I also will probably using their wiring kit. I found another type of kit that uses fluid pressure for the actuator, but I haven't found anyone who has tried that one yet. I guess I'll stick to the one I know people have tried.
