I just did a compression test at the urging of a friend.  I didn't want to
do it for fear of what I might find.
Here are the results:
#1 - 118 pounds
#2 - 90 pounds
#3 - 78 pounds
#4 - 117 pounds
This was done with the distributor center wire disconected so that it would
not start.
Was this the correct way to test?
Are these pressures OK or should they be different?
Thanks,
Ray
