How to install a Superior Solutions adjustable vacuum switch for your 700R4 lockup torque converter
As we work toward looking after all the small details of this build, I want to show you how to install a Superior Solutions adjustable vacuum switch for your 700R4 lockup torque converter. We also get a look at the new Ridler wheels dad is installing on his 1936 Dodge.

Thanks brother!
I think you said Radler, because when defeated beer is what you needed. I think those do look good. Maybe a little less backspacing in the rear, but it all looks great. Glad you got that OD figured out too for Dale.

Absolutely. The 700R4 lockup is vacuum controlled. If you had a O/D button inside the Blazer it was only disrupting the power to this type of lockup switch and not running through a computer.
So how do you connect it on the bottom of the transmission I understand how you connected at the top side
@OldeCarrGuy

All you do is power it up from the live wire in the 4 pin connector on the trans. i think it green. But just double check!
I did a efi to carb swap on my 87 camaro with a 700r4.im told this looses t converter lock up control.So will this kit all I required to regain lock up control.?? or is the switch kit needed which is sold for 200 plus.

Yessir!
Bought this switch to replace the broken GM Vac switch, but think mine is faulty. It's permanently normally closed. I thought how it worked was open circuit until it gets enough vacuum, then it switches to normally closed, circuit complete ,then lock up happens. Is this correct?
@OldeCarrGuy

There is an allan head adjuster screw to change the open/close point. Your's may be screwed in too far.
ONE Of these wires must go to the trans?? Which one? there are theww connections on that switch...i just bought one, one has to intersect at the trans cicuit to open and close the voltage...Yes? Thanks!

You are correct. I guess I assumed, when making the video that folks would know that there was a wire coming from the transmission. On the 700R4, there is a 4 pin connector, and i believe it was the green wire that activated the lock-up. Hope this helps and/or clarifies.

WHAT ABout when you apply brakes. Is the brake switch in the loop?
@OldeCarrGuy
2 жыл бұрын
No brake switch required. Because it is vacuum operated (adjustable), as soon as you take your foot off the gas, the vacuum closes the switch. as soon as you step on the gas and lose vacuum again, the converter will lockup. I hope I explained that ok.

You don't need ALL that bullshit. Lockup was designed for 4th gear economy only. No toggle switch needed to turn off lockup. Simply shift into 3rd gear n leave it there for in town low speed driving. It will never lockup or "lug". When you get on the "highway", simply shift in OD!!! Elementry, my dear Watson..
