High Stall and lock-up
When cruising at 65 mph, my rpms are showing lock-up at 1800 rpms.
But when I very gently apply the throttle, I am not seeing it unlock...
I have a 2600-2800 stall converter so I'm no where near the stall at cruising and I think that is why I can't get it to unlock...sound right?
I'm making enough torque that its alright if it doesn't unlock, but I just want to make sure that it is working properly.
Thanks.

Sounds correct to me. You need gears in combination with the 2800 converter for the best performance. I believe gears around 373 would make a big difference. My car runs at 2600 at 70 MPH with 373 gears.

id put the lockup on a switch if you are using a higher than stock stall. it should work fine with the computer but there is no guessing if its locked or not with the switch.

You can wire a mini-LED in series with a 2.2k Ohm resistor across ALDL pins A and F as a lockup indicator. If you also wire a switch across these pins you can force lockup manually.
