Thanks Vile for the help. The vacuum switch in my first post is the EGR bleed sol. I found out that it keeps the TCC from locking up via. a TVS until the engine reaches appro. 170 deg. To remove the bleed sol.,vacuum lines and tvs. I need to find a 170 deg. temp. switch or some other way. When retro fitting the trans into earlier muscle cars wonder how they did this.

Just bypass it all together then. The converter can lock and unlock at any temp without any problems.

After thinking about it I think I am going to connect the two wires toghether for now. I would like to make it lockup only in 4th though. I will do some light towing. Here's a pic of the valve body, which switches control which gears?
