Can someone tell me what each wire does for it's color?

I have some Powerpoint slides I can send you that show how the TCI #37600 and the Bowtie Overdrives circuits are wired. If you have the stock GM harness inside the trans, I have some pictures of how the various way 80's Monte Carlos were wired that I could scan and send. It may be easier to just trace the wiring while you have the pan off. You are going to change the fluid and filter before putting a used trans into service, right?

The transmission is from a 1987 1/2 ton chevy truck and was hooked up to a 350 motor. The plug I have a question about is the one on the outside of the trans. BUT, I found out last night after making this post, much to my anger & dismay, that someone in our shop has thrown that plug away!!!! IDIOTS!!!!! So NOW I have to go and get ANOTHER plug!
Any help any of you can offer would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
Thanks guys!

Try "700r4 connector pigtail" as your search term on evilbay and you should find one for less than $9.
BTW, you will find that there are 3 major valve body configurations and plus enough internal wiring combinations to drive you crazy. The least expensive alternative is if you have a functional #13 valve. Then you just have to replace that and place a suitable valve ball on the top of your solenoid and you don't even need to have the external wiring. I was not, however, so lucky.
So...I now have my Lokar TV cable installed and set and my new pigtail installed with plans to wire it to a hot to check out the lockup and then hopefully wire it to a transmission pressure switch for my 4th gear lockup.
If I were you, after locating a pigtail, I'd get a good transmission guy involved to make sure your TV cable is set and your lockup system is installed and working correctly. | | |
