Dont know about the novak, but all old 700r4 ' s have an electrical lock-up. This can be either un-hooked or you can tap into the line with an old g.m., vacuum operated electrical switch, which wouldnt allow lock-up untill partial throttle opening .These were used on the old rwd g.m. cars equipted with a 350 turbo hydromatic and lock-up converter.
