My first car was also my firstG, my 83 GP. Bought it in 1992 when i turned 14, and still have it!

I split my time between a 1979 Dodge, a 1984 Dodge, and a 1998 Dodge, all 1/2 ton 4X4s, depending on what i happen to be doing that moment. The 79 is a farm truck and it shows! The 84 is is a nice older truck in really good shape that is treated more like a toy, with the lift and agressive...

What trans did the car originaly have?

5 psi is just fine. Anything over 7 psi is generally considered too much on a carburated street vehicle.

If you have a 200-4R you will need a new crossmember but the driveshaft will work just fine. If you have the 200 the crossmember will work with the 350 too

Re: Wheel offset for '84 GP? there is a wheel fitment guide thread that discuses various sizes and backspacings under the chassis/wheels title. Just use the search feature.

I dont think you can use your original crossmember even if you slide it back. It will throw the transmission mount off to one side.

Sounds like a pretty positive upgrade for cheap. I'm gonna give it a shot too. Gonna have to wait till the snow melts first though!

Re: 87 SS Man that is one sweet ride! Good work your doing there!

Depends on the size of tire you run, but im pretty sure those 15X10s will cause problems without lifting the back up.

Welcome! What you running under the hood? Looks like an awesome car!

Yes, the B&M is operated by a seperate cable and special braket on the transmission. The factory stuff has to be removed, leaving the factory reverse light switch useless.

Cut the green wire and run it to the B&M switch. Un plug the factory plug from the switch on the colum and put a jumper wire between the two terminals on the plug. I did this the other day on my Megashifter. Of course if someone else has a better or safer way, let us know!

Is there a little hostility around here? Can't we all be nice?

Sounds like you have problems with your cig. lighter. Unhook the lighter and put a new fuse in and see if it blows. Use the proper 20 amp fuse.
