Oh darn, bad compression, '71 145S 140-160

Thanks, it has been sitting for over one year now! The PO said it just died last march and couldn't afford any repairs. I wish I knew where to start diagnosing, I just jumped to the conclusion since it wasn't starting it was dead. If I understand your advice, low compression "should" still run/start, albeit no power for driving? Thanks!
