I compression tested the motor.

1- 155
2- 155
3- 0
4- 138 (had cylinder replaced here 2 years ago)
5- 155
6- 155
7- 148
8- 165

So I pulled the vavle covers and discovered the rockers were way to tight on #3, readjusted them, and now I have 155 on cylinder #3 now.

The car runs pretty good, but its pathetic on lowend power. I guess its the holley intake and 1.72 rockers.

I crankd my timing up high to try and compensate, but its still soggy on the bottom end. and its running pretty damn hot too.
