I posted a thread a few days ago and received allot of good information about ignition timing, coils, plugs, wires, points, just allot of good need to know links and I thank you all. I was pretty convinced at that point that I should replace all or most of the system. It starts and runs, it starts and runs with one plug pulled out, it started and ran today in gear with the plugs not tightened in the sockets ( left that way by me the day before ) But today I wanted to do a compression test and I wanted the motor to warm up first as I read in a link some where. Top cylinder reads just above 0 psi, the bottom reads 30 psi. I think I need a link on rebuild parts and cost involved. I think that the compression test really sums it up. Ok, maybe not, I know I'm going to pull the head cover and try to determine why the loss of compression I hope it's a blown gasket.
