Sadly I’m not an automatic guru much less a 700R4.  That’s why I paid them to 
do the changeover.  I’m sure a better educated 700R4 guru will chime in.

Just specifying 15” tires isn’t enough; you need the size and aspect ratio.  
Try the calculator at http://www.chevellestuff.com/tools/rpm_calculator.htm to 
give you an RPM range for a given tire size, rear end gear, and transmission.
 
FWIW, when I went from a 4-speed to 700R4 I don’t remember anything having to 
do with wiring, only the correct cable for the kickdown.  But then, I had mine 
done at Phoenix Transmission in Texas ; drove in w/4-speed, drove out with 
700R4.

Got my Beaumont out of storage and drove it last weekend. I got a new job that 
is a 25 min. drive back and forth and will be putting on lots of miles. I am 
putting a 700 R4 ( gas price ) in and was wondering if any one has wiring 
diagrams for it or any one has done this and What will I run into. I already 
made new drive shaft, have new throttle bracket for kick down cable. Also 
bought speedometer piece that will take a cable. Was also wondering what kind 
of gear I will have in first with 336 and 15" tires?
 
Any Help very much appreciated.
 
Thank you
