When i convert to carburated, can i leave the ecu hooked up for the trans lockup function or am i forced to hook up a manual switch? I'd rather leave it in if it still will operate the lockup. |

i believe the ecu will be useless after the swap. I went with the painless wiring lockup kit works pretty good. easy install. |
