TransGo Kit and C3
So i believe since i have LG4 305 1980 4/9/1979 build date and my car is California built i would the the 3 speed TH350 not the C correct?
Now i have two options.
TransGo Performance Shift Kits 350-1-2
TransGo Performance Shift Kits 350-3
Motor is around 220HP so which kit would be best for me ?

I remember putting my TransGo in my 77 awhile back. But I do not remember there being diff. kits. My kit had the materials to go either way, if I remember correctly. I went with the hard shift, which I believe is the "off road" type.

I believe you are correct in that you have the THM350 NOT the THM350-C, which I think only was in the 81-82 cars. Mine is an 81 and has the THM350-C. The 'C' is the designation for the lockup variation.
As far as the type of kit, I think you want the '-1&2' type (not -3 which is race version). This is what I used.
I installed this kit last winter and it was a great little upgrade to the old TH350C. Holds onto first a little longer and shifts firmer. With my stock 2.87 rear end, I was/am not able to chirp the tires but that's ok.
The install went fine and I had never done anything like that before. I did break the drill bit that came with it, but just got another one. Be very careful, take your time and follow the directions TO THE T!

I am confused as the tune up and service manual says Cali cars 1980 are 350C but the drive shaft is 6" long, no connector i can see.. Ill upload pics. the two VIN and code numbers are worn away..
