Good guess.... but we had spark (e.g., cam & distrubutor turning) and the previous mechanic reported that it ran when fuel was introduced into the intake. I accept that it did.

My comment on fingerprints: What I was trying to do was prevent getting sidetracked on a discussion that someone had gotten inside and fouled up cam timing. They hadn't.

There was flow through the engine. The plugs were dry as a bone all 100 times we checked them (well, maybe only 3-4 times, but it seemed like 100).

Please continue with your thinking about compression.
