Well aside from the whole cleaning the dirt and stuff off of it and having that clean some of the paint off along with it here is the story thus far. Compression on cylinder 4 is 150 cyl 3 137 cyl 1 is 160, I couldn't get to one yet cause the AC compressor is in the way so I'll post that number here shortly. The brake booster is disconnected beause when its hooked up the car sputters and dies. If I plug the hole where the booster should go it also sputters and dies. All the while there is this horrid whistling sound coming from the intake. I know my other FI engine didn't screech like that. The guy I got this from (Justin Chomel) said it was running on two cylinders because it is always fouling the plugs. The floorboards are in pretty sorry shape but thats just gonna take some cutting and welding to solve that one. I'm late for the dinner call so I'll post more later. Any thoughts that anyone has please post them here and let me know of anything special I should look out for. I have decent knowledge from tearing down my other FI engine so as soon as its all back together and that car is running this one is going to get torn down too.
Thanks
John
