The GV can be made to kick down simply by inserting a break switch in the solenoid circuit. On my own (which isn't in yet) I'll have a WOT switch on the gas pedal completing ground to a relay in the solenoid circuit.
Why do I torture myself so?

I put a toggle switch (inlew of the foot switch supplied by GV) under the dash over by the brake release. It's small enough where I can't see it, yet positioned so flipping it is real easy. I didn't want the foot switch mounted to the floor. 9 times out of 10, the toggle switch will be on for highway driving.

I also noted that my driveshaft is nearly horizontal with everything from the OD output shaft, driveshaft to the Dana's input yoke perfectly aligned in a horizontal orientation relative to the floor....

Looks and sounds good Troy and thanks for taking the time to do this. Glad everything worked out for you. Makes me want to get at mine. Give us an update when you have a few hundred miles on her.

It's very easy.... Now that I've done it once.. I'll be helping a friend with his '70 Superbee soon. He already has the kit. Now it's about time. His is a 3.23, so he'll be really cruising..........

Awesome post, thank you for sharing!! Hey, where did you get that neato plastic pump thingy in photos 27 & 28?
I got it my local auto parts store.. It's pretty handy. The plastic hose is a little stiff, but does the job... Would be great for differentials as well.

Hemi68, I have an A518 in my GTX that was previosly fitted when purchased. Any reasons as to not using the A518? I dont know too much about their strengths but it was bought through MP back in 96 and documented in Hotrod.I hope the A518 can handle some 1/4 mile launches see here http://www.hotrod.com/howto/43323_mopar_overdrive_transmission_swap/index.html Im fitting a 3.91 gear next,I just hope the A518 is strong enough? Mine also utilises a toggle switch, no biggie , just flick at speed to engage, and flick off to re-engage 3rd gear at a reasonable low speed. cheers Dave
