Default Cross Fire To Carb Help

I recently converted my 82 vette from the tbi system to a carb.
My question is what do i need to do about the transmission with the torque converter clutch switch, since i won't have the computer system anymore.

Thanks in advanced!

You will need to make sure the TV cable is adjuted properly for the 700R4. Also you can search for how to get the lockup converter to work, there are a ton of threads on it. But check out the B&M lockup controller, it works grest on my TH350C and there is an application specific model for the 700R4 as well.
