1985 140, has now blow. The head gasket out 2 times on #3 on the manifold side. Compression test before was 1,2 & 4 were all between 140-150, #3 was 180. I did recently put in a elec ignition conversion with a 40,000v 1.5 ohm coil. Otherwise nothing has changed, and always ran good, other than dealing with the points....
