E4OD has no computer? Trouble?
I have a 95 150, 5.0, E4OD, 2WD I bought recently for $100 from someone who gutted the EFI and replaced it with a 4bbl edelbrock and a mechanical advance MSD distributor system. He was trying to hook up Nitrous. It didn't run good because of 2 vacuum leaks. 1st leak was a disconnected master cylinder booster hose to the carb, the second was a manifold runner without a plug in it. I drove it locally for about 2 weeks after I fixed the leaks and got it running. Then I drove it from Chicago to Va and drove it locally for about 2 more weeks before 1st gear went out. I just had the tranny rebuilt for $600 and want to get some opinions about running it with the 4bbl set up. I have seen in this forum that these trannys are controlled by various components tied to the computer?
It runs fine and shifts pretty good. A little hard on the 2-1 or 1-2 once in a while but otherwise shifts and runs great. When I said the guy gutted the EFI, I mean he pulled the manifold and all. He also cut all the EFI related wiring harnesses at the body where the wires connect from the engine to the chassis.
I am concerned about whether or not the tranny still gets or needs computer inputs. If I drive it like this will I be ruining the tranny? Should it have a kick down cable? It runs smoothly all the wayy up to 80 mph. I haven't tried to go any faster. Thanks for your help.

I went to the Bauman web site. They do have a kit that i could use but it costs $450. Also, I believe the tranny is a 4R70W instead of a E4OD. The Bauman site said for my engine and model year that is what it would be. I am still wondering if it is ok to drive it as is without damaging it.
