I have a 700 R4 from an '83 Caprice, It was rebuilt shortly before I pulled it out of the car so I know it works and is reliable, my question is since the car had an ECU (computer), does this transmission need any modifications to run without the computer? If so what needs to be done? As always any links to this information are appreciated.

The 87 up trans. were much better but being yours was recently built it might be impoved or exchanged with the newer one. The only part electrical was the lockup conv. I used a vacuum switch from a late 80s van & hooked it up to ported vacuum. I also used a 2 prong oil pressure switch in the 4th gear service port. This makes it fully automatic & real smooth. The throttle cable is real critical on these. There is plenty of info if you do a search & some past posts on this websight.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
