Yeah, I did not mention it as I think it would be very difficult to find one today.
The idea of trying to find the right spring and experimenting with the lockup turns me off as you have to drop the valve body to work on the lockup.
  I can't remember the exact setup of the lockup, but an electric control would be ideal. 
I have no idea as to if it would be possible, but if it is then a controller such as the ones made by B&M could probably be fitted to control lock and unlock.
  You could also use manual engage with a brakelight disengage to avoid stalling the engine if you forgot to turn off the lockup.
