Jon, thanks for the very informative reply.

1. What kind of compression numbers am I looking for?
2. What is a "complete" ignition test?
3. How do I do a fuel pressure test and what numbers am I looking for?

The .
500CFM AFB came off of a Mopar 318. I have not attempted to open up the carb
as I would have no idea what I was doing.

The engine has only 4200 miles on it since rebuilt as new. I would be surprised if the compression was bad unless the rings are not yet seated.I drove it 1100 miles to KC and back and did not baby it for the reunion in 2011. It's no wonder this thing is messed up if all the things you mention are wrong.

Thanks

Weeds
