if it has a switch it's suppose to have OD, if not, then the answer is no. If you are suppose to have OD, check the Od solenoid, notorious for going out, simple fix

No, 1987 didn't have a 4-speed automatic.

Make sure your OD switch is operative. If so then you may need to replace the O/D solenoid. O/D and lockup are on the same harness. You have to replace the entire internal wiring harness. They are located on the valvebody. You need to pull the VB down to replace them.
