quote SteveAbe:

ok guys i rechecked the comp with different gauge about 63 are 64 pounds. Had xtra head gasket so i toke the head off looked pretty good. I tried to wiggle the pistons around when at tdc seem ok. I took flywheel off after i checked the spark the coils have been replaced at one time one is red one is dark purple the spark was real good i have a plug that ive cut the electroded off and the spark jumps from the center of plug to the side of plug good 1/4 inch real blue so needless to say im going to put it back togeather see what happens. Question for frank would it be any better for me to get 1 of your timing tools too see if that will help? thanks steve

Probably not, unless your points gap is way off now. It has spark on both, so should at least run on both cylinders, even if poorly.
