Many years ago, I helped my Dad stuff (literally) a 4-53 Detroit diesel along with an Allison 5 speed tranny in a 65 Dodge 3/4 ton 2WD. His last diesel project was putting a 3-53 Detroit in a 73 Chevy 4WD PU, and hooking it to the 400 auto tranny. He drove this truck from here to CA a couple of tim...

I ended up having to shim the bolts. It's still not perfect, but it is within 3/8 of an inch now. To shim anymore, I'll have to get longer bolts.

I bought this off a friend of mine, and gave $500 for it and a parts truck. It's a 1970 D100 with the four speed. The truck has 88,000 miles, and I am the 3rd owner.

I just bought a 1970 D100. It has the 318 four speed, and I would like to change it over to electronic ignition. I've done this on other makes, but never a Dodge. What does it entail?
