So I'm looking at the trans to see the status and I notice that the vacuum modulator hose port is broken off. OK so I need to replace that but my other question is: where does the torque converter lock out switch cable connect to???  I don't see a spot for it.  Hints, finger pointing, or stick figures welcome.

Many 350s don't have a lock up converter.  Others use a plug that operates a solenoid inside to create lockup.  The computer sends a signal to the sol to operate.

The 350LU trans didn't come to Corvette until '81, so your '80 doesn't have the LU connector. If it did, tho, it would be on the driver side of the case, just behind, and slightly above the shifter linkage/shaft.
