Torqueflites gained the lock-up feature around 77 or so. My 94 has a cable, so the service manual refers to it as the throttle valve cable and yes these and the linkage must be attached and adjusted properly. The TH400 in my old 84 GMC van used a vacuum modulator valve for the kick-down feature.

It is not absolutely necessary so long as the kickdown rod is properly adjusted.
