Today, I dropped to my knees and thanked God for helping me start my car. Well sort of... After soaking for 2 days in Marvel Mystery Oil my compression shot up to 150 psi. (For those who care, the specs are 114-156 psi, engine HOT, throttle wide open) Previously, it was 100-120 psi, but that's engine cold because the thing wouldn't start. At any rate, with fuel disconnected, and Marvel in the chamber, I gave it a shot of ether. It fired, struggled, then ran -briefly- (10-15 seconds) on ether. The timing appeared correct, I didn't have time for the timing light but the engine chugged along without "fighting" itself. After that, the plugs fouled with Marvel and the starter wouldn't crank it fast enough. Battery's charging. I suspect my problems are two-fold. Low compression due to slow cranking, and weak spark. I'm going to replace the coil, wires and plugs with something hotter...18-20,000 volts, Bosch +4's and some good wires. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Rich #5335 (on life support) Yahoo!
