Hi a,
Welcome!
First Post!!!

"80 model. 350C. Please tell me the easiest way to toggle switch that solenoid.I will hide the freakin thing under my seat. Thanks muchly"

Is this question in some kind of code that I'm too old to decipher?
Regards,
Alan

What are you asking Allbryte? What are you hiding under the seat? What solenoid?

Are you talking about a hidden kill switch for the starter solenoid?

I believe he is asking the easiest way to put a toggle switch in to lock up his 350C transmission solenoid.

If the TC solenoid I pulled the pan and removed the solenoid so it worked like a non lockup trans. Mine would get gummed up and stick

I would make sure the oscillating flyback rectifier circuit is disconnected before going any further

Hi c,
"Maybe hes posting from another country and doesnt do english well no need to be a dick"
I'm not a dick!
I checked his profile before I posted because sometimes it CAN be someone for whom English is a second language.
In this case he indicates Fordyce Ar. is in the USA!
Regards,
Alan
