The car runs great. The power seems like it did when new. I pings and seems to have less power when using regular or mid grade gas. Same problem when it was new, so we always used 92 or 93. I tried the 87 & 89 gas again when it took $45.00 to fill it up but went right back to the good stuff. It uses or leaked about 1/2 pint on 3,000 miles. I fixed the valve cover leak yesterday and will see how much it uses on the next oil change. check the valve in Oct. because they seemed noisy but everything is still in spec. You are right about the carbon build up I think. Most of the miles are in town when my wife and kids drove it. Now that I'm driving it, you might see me most anywhere. Since I'm Point the 240 North Monday I change the plug back to the AC rapid fire #4. They are worth 1 MPG more in my car. About 25 MPG hwy. I Had to use some old wires split fire wires that I had on it before. The MDS wire will not be in until Tuesday and I be gone. I don't plan to do anything to the head until there is a real problem and then the bottom end should need something as well. I will do another compression check like you guide. the First two were like that. When I put the new plug wire on I will do another compression test & Post the numbers. Thanks Mr DeWolfe. I'm a 52 year old getting in shape fat man 6"3" 290 Lbs.
