so while tearing into a few probjects today I figure why not do a comp test (my first attempt).
at first I thought I may be doing something wrong, but I tried again, right from the Haynes manual, first dry than wet... here are the results
before oil
1 150
2 165
3 160
4 165
5 170
6 170
after oil
1 160
2 190
3 185
4 185
5 190
6 210
they all built up quickly, but from what I understand those numbers are not so good.
So any ideas on what I can do from here. The rig will be off the road for a few more days, but I am not so mechanically inclined as to rip into the engine.
On top of this when I was pulling to spark plug wires one came apart, the plug clip came out of the wire. So now I am going to replace all of them. Any thoughts on what I should go for? Is it worth the extra coin for a full MSD set, will a normal stock replacement from NAPA do, or something inbetween?
thanks for all the help
