84 c10 305/th350c was on the pass top fire wall. has a vacuum line hooked up to it.

**N2TRUX** · 10-04-2010, 10:54 PM

Torque converter lock/unlock

3r!c84 · 10-04-2010, 11:01 PM

Torque converter lock up is the driverside wall. The one on the passenger is part of the ESC system.

3r!c84 · 10-04-2010, 11:27 PM

dont need one like this on the drivers side? and whats ESC system? do i need it

*nbpro* · 10-04-2010, 11:44 PM

ESC system Electric Spark Control

converter lock/unlock is part of the 350thc

3r!c84 · 10-04-2010, 11:57 PM

im going to be running a msd system so i wll not be needing the ESC then?

and i didnt see anything like that on the other side for the converter lockup

3r!c84 · 10-05-2010, 12:04 AM

better pic to see where its at

*nbpro* · 10-05-2010, 12:24 AM

Try circling it, because I can't tell from that pic. It's a possibility that someone bypassed your's. Is that a stock carb you're running?

*scottsdaleowner75* · 10-05-2010, 12:27 AM

By chance can you take a pic of where the vacuum line goes to? I have the same thing on my 86's but i dont know where the vacuum hose goes

Here is a better picture from my 83 original configuration.

I removed it along with all the ECS wiring harness.

Look straight up from the top left corner of the brake oil cover. Right above it is the lock switch for a 700R4. The red wire goes around it. The lockup switch is on the bottom right corner of the fusible link junction open box.

ive got TH350C so there should be a lockup converter switch instead. what consists of the whole ESC wiring harness?

As best I rememeber, everything coming out of the large grommit directly behind the motor (slightly towards the pass side) should be the ESC harness. Should have a plug for the dist., knock sensor wire, ect. Inside it will run to a small box like a computer. Unplug the harness from the box and remove.

ok i looked over the diagram and it said nothing about the ESC system or about what i had.

gchemist · 10-06-2010, 12:16 AM

Go to www.autozone.com. You'll find emissions diagrams there with the switch.

I have a 1986 c10 with a 1970 307 and turbo 350 I saved the truck from being a parts truck and installed the motor. In a nutshell I have a torque converter lock but I have no idea where the line goes to even after looking at the picture above and buying a book at the auto parts store. I do have two of them it appears and the ball and some lines but I need some advice on where they all go. My motor is simple I have the basic motor and carb no sensors for smog or emissions are installed.
