Project`67 Dart GT 340 A500
You are going to fall in love with that A500 in a hurry.
I did this swap awhile back in my Dart, but I used the governor port to control pressure switches for OD and lockup.
If I leave everything in "Auto" mode it shifts up and down through all 5 speed completely automatic with OD coming in at 55mph and lockup at 65mph.
The pressure switches are adjustable so you can set the speeds you want them to activate at.
I do have switches also, but they are mostly there to override the auto function if I want lockup, OD, both or either disabled for some reason.
If I turn both off it works like the standard 3 speed but with the low first gear set in it.
Let me know if you are interested and I can show/tell you how to do it, and what worked really well for it.
With everything in auto mode I do 90mph at 2k RPM and 25 mpg. :D
I used to get 17 with the 318 and 904 and now have a mild built 5.9 and the A500.
