    check compression before spending to much money.  if  compression is to low it may indicate a lost cause  or  a jewel.

    these oldies are all the same  and need  some minimum investments (FW puller, coils wires, condensers, gear oil, points(maybe)  etc….

    think around  $150 …great hobby (addictive)  and no more expensive than golf! 🙂

    Post your compression  findings here for comments or.. recommendations
