Highway RPM with the 200R4. Gotta love it!

Mopar to ya said
For those of you who didn't follow my build post, I put a GM 200R4 tranny in my Dart Sport. I have a Dana 60 with 4.10 gears. With my old 904 I was at 3200 rpm at 55 mph and 4000 rpm at 70. I just got my new dash installed and the speedometer wired and calibrated. It seemed like a perfect time to show how good the rpm is now. I see my oil pressure is maxed out. I tapped the #10 wire from the harness that was supposed to be oil pressure sender. It was the wrong color, but I went with position. Wrong choice, it must not have been the OPS wire. I'm going to run a brand new wire.

70 mph and running 2600 rpm

i can redo your column and convert it into a smooth one, i had one that was a spare one i redid and sold to another gent on this site for $150 if you provide me with yours, pay for the shipping both ways and let me redo it for you. i can smooth it out including ridding it of the indicator wart for $100. as long as thats all you require. if any of the electrical is messed up in it (ignition electrical switch, or turn signal assembly) you will have to provide me with the parts to fix that while i have it apart. and i will do that at no additional charge since i have to take all that apart while i'm modifying it.

you will get it back with all 3 of the upper collar pieces sandblasted smoothed out, and primered. you will have to repaint these to whatever color you want. you will need to keep your turn signal stick to reinstall when you get the column back. however send it with the existing ignition lock cylinder as you will have to dissassemble the column to remove it anyways, and i would prefer to recieve the column intact to it being sent in pieces where stuff can get lost. you will get it back with ignition lock cylinder reinstalled, or not if you would prefer to paint it before reinstalling the lock cylinder (i can explain this part in more detail later)

send me your email addy to [email protected], and i will send you a few pics of what it will look like when you get it back. this includes pinning the shifter tube so the lower collar cannot move. this will take me about a week from reciept of the part to when i can get it in the mail back to you.

thanks for your time
