Ok I am going to install a new TC then new fipl and finnally the sol. pack in the trans. The trans guy said it is not to bad to get to. Can anyone tell me if swapping a 5.7l from an 86 van to a 7.3l idi would be worth it. Do i or should I swap trans or can I use C6. Just thinking about now.

If lock up is working revs should rise slightly when you touch the brakes. The brake switch trips the converter and causes it to disengage. When you let off the brake pedal the revs should return to where they were within a couple of seconds.

Just a note. This will NOT work if the throttle pedal is depressed more than 1/3 of the way down.
