A. NO, leave it in drive. You'll get a much cleaner 1-2 shift. Best shift
point for a '92 is 5000 or 5200 and can be altered somewhat by adjusting the
Throttle Valve (TV) cable. Let me know if you need further explanation.
B. YES. Turn off OD.
C.& D. DEPENDS...try different things. Sometimes idle is best, sometimes
something higher. Mine likes 1400 with Drag Radials.

If you wait to see green, you're late. Leave on the last amber bulb.

See A. above. BTW, your '92 should have a 518, not a 500. 46RH is A518.
Check the link in my sig... :-)
