200r4 lockup wiring

[drptop70ss]

Greetings,
I am stopping in from the Team Chevelle site where Bruce has helped out in the past..I have been told this is the place for 200r4 info so maybe you guys can help me. I am putting a CZF 200r4 out of an 86 monte SS into a 71 camaro and need to wire up the lockup circuit. I have seen a schematic of the trans and it shows a 4th gear pressure switch already installed (no 2-3 pressure switch) and the TCC solenoid. I have read that in a computer car the 4th gear pressure switch sends a signal to the ECM that the trans is in 4th and then the ECM sends out a ground signal to lock the converter. If this is true how can I wire this for non computer use? I would like the trans to lock automatically in 4th if possible.

Here is one solution that will do exactly what you want.

thanks,
I have been looking into that setup and it looks like it will be the one I go with since it also has the vacuum switch...I take it would be a good idea to run the +12v through a cruise control brake light switch so the converter will unlock with the brakes?
