got bad news. car was running but it just didnt satisfy me at all. i just had a feeling that somthing just wasn't right. it was idelin ruf and it was only at -10 vacuum. so my friend dave did a compression test. 3 cylinders where good around 150psi but the spark plug tips where white from running lean. so he tested #4..... and sure enough 0 compression. hooked up the gauge and the motor spun with no resistance, my heart automaticly sunk.


so some time this week the motors coming out to get inspected.
