200r4 lock up switch help
I have been installing my new 200r4 from B/O into my 79. Working thru the stages of the install and got to the lock up wiring,
I purchased the "Complete Brake switch circuit" but found that this is suited to cars WITHOUT cruise control which I HAVE, what are my options.
Is there an easy fix as I am very close to finnishing this install
Has anyone else had this problem ?

I purchased a B+M controller to lock up the converter, that way it does not lock up until I am driving over 45mph. That seems to work well with the 200-4r. It unlocks when you slow down keeping the motor from chugging.

i put the manual lock up switch right next to the headlight over ride switch. my 77 had an extra hole in the bracket and a toggle switch went in easily

Just curious, I'm getting ready to put my ZZ4 in my 81'. Definitely getting a 4speed auto trans with the swap.

Also, the 2004R is a direct bolt in, though you must pick up a yoke for a TH350 if I recall. The 700 is slightly different and (longer or shorter, cant remember) and doesnt fit the tunnel as easily as the 200. The 200 can be built to handle well over 500 hp, not a problem with a ZZ4.
Even with the 3.08's, the ZZ4 will smoke 'em!
Oh, and the 24 mpg doesnt hurt!
