We can sell you what you need. We stock the correct switch.

Thanks for the reply Capri, but I used the clutch interlock wires. Just hard to get the wires out from under the dash with the rollbar there.
It's done and running, now having a problem with a flare going into 3rd. the trans builder says it's a qt. low on fluid. We will see.
Thanks for you for the help

Flair or Flash going into third is common, depending on who built the C-4. We switched from a C-4 to T-5 because of the flash because we felt the stick was quicker and more consistant. We got over 2800 runs with a stock T-5. We now have a used TKO in the car with 800 + runs.

The flair seems to go away after the trans is warmed, or at higher RPMs
I also found the pan bolts loose. I don't think that has any thing to do with it. I'm going to put the qt. of fluid in it and try it. I have to put the exhaust back on to try it on the street.

Cool. That works too. We stock the correct NSS to convert to a C-4.

The flare on the 2-3 is an issue in the clutch pack as I recall. If its not more than 200 rpm, it will work fine forever at 6500RPM. An extra qt may not help. I believe I have 7qts in mine with a deep pan.

You know I was going to ask what it should hold, I have 7 qts in it now but I'll try 8 . going to do it this week end if it's not raining. I will let you know.
thanks
