The other day I got around to measuring the GT6's compression again,
checking the valves first. #1 was tighter than it should've been.
Don't know why, but after I re-adjusted it it read 140 as compared to
the previous 120 or below. Okay, chalk that up to mechanic's error,
I guess. (I wonder who that was.)
Drove it to work today but it still didn't like rev'ing above
3500rpm, would start missing about 3000. Ordered up a new tune-up
set, dizzy cap, rotor, points, condensor today. Put some dry-gas in
the tank and drove around for 15 minutes but I'm not sure it helped.
They're predicting possibly heavy T-storms tomorrow so I'll drive the
van. Maybe the GT6 will get the message.
In the meantime I'm open to suggestions.
