First of all the compression turned out good, not as high as one might expect, but at least equal on all 8.
changed the sparkplugs, wires and HEI distributor and it fired right up

Now suddenly the damn thing won't turn over due to some weird electrical problem. gotta check the fuseable link, but it's cold outside and early dark, so I'll wait for the weekend.

secondly check out our new project:
