vandalized !!!!

check under the dist. cap, something may have come loose or is cracked...

 

checked the cap, its brand new.. and i am getting spark at all the cap points.

 

do a compresson test before you build a whole motor.if you do build one get a nice cam,some afr 185's,a 650 holley,rpm air gap and a few sets of tires.

 

well, if i tear apart the motor i am going to rebuild it, no sence opening up a 35year old engine without rebuilding

any good block machinests around memphis area?
i could build the block if i can get it cleaned boared, etc. (preped)
then i could purhcase a rotating assembly and trick flow heads.
roller rockers, cam, etc and i would be up and running.
i have a good carb, intake, distributer already.

 

I'm new to the area too, so I don't know who the good machine shops are yet, but I know people who might. I'll ask around. Actually the place to ask around would be the Thursday night cruise-in...
