I have an a500 out of a 91 Dakota that I am considering putting into an 80s carbureted D150..
I've seen different things for that job over the years but haven't pd attention much since it didn't apply to any of my projects then. Not really looking to flip switches constantly. But also not looking for anything crazy hi tech. Staying carbureted, and if I change anything about what makes it run, I MIGHT swap out the 4 pin ignition box for either an HEI or possibly an msd type ignition. But probably not.
It runs plenty good with the factory 4 pin ignition.
What have you guys done to control the OD and lockup on one of these transmissions in something that never came with one
