Default 700R4e

Has anyone used a computer controlled Quadrajet for the tps sensor when installing the 4l60e? Would it work with the stand alone controller?

I haven’t and it works off of the accelerator pump arm so obviously not a great choice. The link I gave is a good company and have a universal TPS sensor available, the best transmission controller too

I would think it would be the best option. It's what GM used and it is a GM transmission.
Sturdy mount. No concern of mounting bending, getting out of adjustment, and easy to adjust.

it is GM's first design TPS. first rhymes with worst. it is designed to run GM's first design ecm. which got put on cars cuz they had to hit a certain emissions number THIS YEAR! not cuz they had spent enough time designing it that they were happy with it. and you would have to run 2 ecm's. one for the 4l60 and one for the E4ME carb which is a first-and-last design comp controlled carb. that US Shift setup at 650 sounds like a good deal. 4l trannys are a lot easier to find than 700 or 200 r's.

I was looking at carbs on the Holley website. They have the Demon? Carb that advertises a bolt on TPS for $149.00. Look closely. It is a 3 wire early GM sensor that mounts on carburetor and works with only the transmission controller.
Which makes sense. The sensor is a simple rheostat that supplies the controller the 5 volt reference signal it needs. Why would you need a second controller for the carburetor?

I picked up a 700 at the scrapyard from a guy cleaning out his deceased father's garrage. Followed him home and got a 4.3l and 4l60e. The 4.3l will go to a friend that didn't winterize his boat last year. The reason I was thinking about this was trying to decide which transmission I would go with. But my mind has been made up now. I'm on my way home with two 200r4 transmissions. One rebuilt with new converter. One good rebuildable core. I'm transmission rich. I'll post what I'm not keeping here first.
