Gary,
ive been collecting the mags just for this occasion! Actually the
Interceptor is a full frame car that weighs in at about the same as the Dak
(4K lbs unloaded) Big, fast, excellent handling vehicle with a weak
electrical system!

I believe the 518 IS the 46RH... just was the old name before they went to
the
xxRx format... for those that don't know, each digit means something..
in a 46RE, 4 is the number of forward gears, 6 is the strength, R is for
rear wheel drive, and E means electronic control.
But I think when they added a 4th gear to the 727 they called it the 518,
and a 4-speed 904 was a 500... now they're the 46RH/E and 45RH/E (maybe
44RH/E? I don't follow the 4-6cyl stuff too well)
But I would say a beefed 46RH would be what you're looking for... the Jensen
is too light to warrent the extra beef in the 47RH/E
There's a trick you have to do for the O/D to work without a computer, but I
bet you already knew that... one of the mopar mags has had articles on how
to do this... Interesting project... I'd love to see the results!
