No, you need to hook that to an ignition 12v, but that gets cut off when the brakes are applied. Do you have a 4 prong brake switch? You will need one if you don't. Here's a pic I stole from this site somewhere, but should help.

There will be a light blue wire on the TAC plug, pin 6 that goes to the cold side of the brake light switch, and you can hook that one up to your original brake light plug as it will need to see 12v with the brakes applied.

Re: tcc brake switch ??

ok my truck does not have that just 2 I got one on the way. I have been driving the truck for a few years without it never no problems other than the overdrive been having to back off the throttle for it to go in overdrive maybe this will solve that it looks just like that.

That's because the instructions aren't for the whole engine harness. The GM manual shows it, I posted a pic of it in the cruise control thread, post #18. Light blue wire, pin #6 on the TAC plug. Needs power when the brakes are applied. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=511477

the tcc switch disengauges the torque converter clutch (tcc) when you slow down...

no I am running a lq4 6.0 with a 4l80e and np205.. the engine and transmission came out of a 2006 2500hd 2wd and its in a 77 k3500 crewcab when i did the swap I never hooked up the tcc wire I thought it was just for the cruise.i have always had to let off the gas pedal just a little for the transmission to go into overdrive and it seems to just glide into overdrive not just shift rite into it. I have been driving it for about 4 years without the tcc switch hooked up I drove it for a short distance today and it seemed then be the same but I will try it out and drive it a little more and see how it does .thanks for the info on the tcc I never knew there was a clutch in the torque converter.
