Scroll down and look at the pans in the link. If you have #5 or #6, it's a lockup.

If it is the original transmission still in the car,then yes you have a lockup converter.81 was the first year they put them in,the pan will match the th350 pan,but the trans in the 81 is a th350C,which i think is basically the same trans with just a few minor differences inside,but it does have the lockup converter
