After I read Chris's recent post I ran a compression test on my 72 142 E, D-jet and it was 135 on two and 115 on the other two. Obviously, the two low ones are a problem, but how much of a problem? What should it run? The plugs all look about the same, a little white look. The car doesn't have the power that my old beater does with 335K, a Weber, and a lot of blue smoke on deaceleration.

My guess is the engine would run another 100K easy, but it would be nice to have a little more power. Suggestions?

Thanks-Mark Richardson
