If You have a metal tube style, or have an extension like 1/4" steel line, it'll pop & shoot up onto the...

    Runs a bit lean...

    The 1920 is notorious for the 'economizer' (power)valve seizing/hanging-up, & related passages plugging. If it's running well, You're wise to keep it clean, & seek out alcohol-free fuel if it sits for any lengthy duration.

    How far in the hole 318 pistons

    The best thing You can do is warm it up then do a cranking compression test. Fresh battery w/a charger hooked up, all plugs out, throttle held wide open, ign. disabled. Stop on the 7th 'pump', w/a stock cam, it should give Him a good idea where You're at.

    As for the subject heads in this thread, F*ck Stellantis, & pretty much Daimler-Chrysler. They haven't made them in how long?? And they've practically abandoned anybody with anything older than a Neon.....for all intensive purposes. But boy they LOVE to protect the trademarks & certify stuff, &...

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    How much R&D do You think is involved in simply beefing-up &/or lightening w/Aluminum an already strong unit, vs developing intake manifolds, cylinder heads, & cams to go with them?? When's the last time Ford produced the 9" rear in a car or truck? When somebody like Eddy develops a product...

    I hate BMW’s

    Allowable lease terms can vary State to State. In PA, if You think You're not paying more for Your new lease if You bring Your ride in with tires worn down, brakes burned up, & body/paint damage...You're delusional. How do I know? I'm the guy that did the turn-in inspections, that the Customer...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    So We have had the same experience, just opposite opinions, I found the splits & shifting agonizing. I'd be willing to bet with telemetry, each shift took 3-4× longer, which came up pretty quick w 4.89's.

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    One question, did You swap out the pin & pawl interlock system to the older ball & detent system?

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    "It won't be a racecar",.......in no way would I stick an A833OD in that car, I ran one in My ex-Popo Dippy w/4.89's & didn't like it at all. It's a good trans, but from a run-it hard perspective, it's a 3-speed with OD plain & simple. If it won't be a racecar, & I'm assuming an 8.75" rear, I'd...

    273 Commando - UTG

    He was, @whitepunkonitro was His Member/user name, not seen in a while. I'm not even sure this will tag Him, probably been too long, & He probably won't see it if it does.

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    The fact that it's the only large oval-port head for SBM's, with the Indycar project maybe the only exception, but also had more than one incarnation. There may be 5 things one could change that are beneficial, but Mopar abandoned it for the successive W designs for a reason, an Al-U-minimum...

    Leaf spring question

    All of the 'W' body GM's (Lumina, GranPrix, SomersetRegal, CutlassSupreme) used a single transverse 'glass leaf, & for a more accurate comparison, GM's Astro & Safari vans used them RWD/AWD. In the entire time I worked, from their intro to the end of normal service life, I only saw a few...

    Low Dollar 318 Grand Finale Exit !!

    There were a few 'teeners that ran good back in the '80's & early'90's, all low buck 'cause We didn't have much buck to use, & there are a couple of locals that do the tri-state demo-derby rounds that still transplant 'teeners into whatever body they get to use.
