FYI, you can run a TCC lockup even without the computer, assuming you're still running the 200-4R or a 700R4. You can wire up a manual switch to turn it on, or buy one of the many kits out there to includ a vaccuum circuit.
I've got a 700R4 in my '68 Chevy pickup and I just wired up a toggle switch leave the switch on all the time. Since lockup is only in 4th, when it downshifts it turns it off anyways so it's not like it bogs down or anything.
