transmission wire
what is the electric wire that runs from the transmission to the firewall on a 1980 corvette 350 turbo? If it is an electric wire is it hot all the time or only when the switch is on ?

Yep, that's probably what it is. I think The lock-up converters only came on California 'vettes in '80, and the Cally 'vettes in '80 all had 305s in them. Check it out, I hope I'm wrong.

Well, I guess I stand corrected. My 1980 L48 auto does not have a lock-up converter. So, does anybody know how they decided on which cars got lock-up and which cars didn't? Did they just flip a coin on the assembly line?

My bad... both.. had to be car but sometimes I reply like now from my phone and sometimes driving. and I thought that was in the 1980 when the two plants work at the same time but I guess that it was on the 1981

Original Transmission. Possible the knucklehead who owned it before me, might have ripped out the wiring for it, I'll check a little closer, and see if it has that little 4-prong female fitting for the wiring, if it does, I'll let ya know, and purchase a new harness to get the lockup working.
