Thanks,
I'm going to go by the local flea mkt tomm and see if I can find a deal on a gauge if not will check local parts stores for price..I guess it would be good to take a spare plug with me so I can get the right threads? anybody know what the ballpark reading should be?
anyway did the arc test tonite after it got dark...couldn't see any errant sparks and did the screwdriver test for fire...the plug wire does in fact have spark...must be a valve or compression issue...bummer...
anybody have any idea what a full valve job should run $$ wise as opposed to having an engine re-build kit put in? seems like if there's a stuck or burned valve on an eng this old I can't see the others being in great shape...
TIA
Mike
