You may need a special adapter for the throttle shaft on the carb. Most 700R4 transmissions were from fuel injected vehicles. The carb. link will not allow Wide open throttle pressure to the trans. This will toast it pretty quickly. I purchased the adapter from Bowtie overdrives. It is fully adjustable which is a unique feature. Chec them out. There are a couple other companies who offer similar brackets.My 72 blazer went from undrivable on long trips to a cruiser . It runs about 2300 rpm at 70 in lockup mode.
