The 79 304/998 had a lockup but he 258/904 was locked up in 80.
There's no switch needed. It's all internal in the trans - 3rd gear and 30 some
MPH.

After I bought my Eagle, I wanted a set of steel rims for snow tires, 
and a set of wider alloy rims for all-season tires.  The steel rims I 
bought were from the Tire Rack for a Wrangler or Cherokee.  The alloys I 
bought were from a Cherokee or Grand Cherokee.  The rear axle's spindles 
stuck out of the center of the wheels by 1 to 1-1/4".  I had 1-1/2" 
spacers custom made.  Pictures of the wheels on the car (before and 
after spacers) can be seen here: http://home.earthlink.net/~rtneyhart/
