JP,
It has been sitting for 2 years at least not being run, hell I don't even know if it has been turned over. I got the engine and replaced plugs, points, coil, Mechanical injection pump belt and static timed it. I filled it up with oil ( which it does not leak any
and then turned over by hand, and gradually worked up to trying to start it. It ran for 10-15 seconds on only 1-3 cylinders and then I shut it down. I tried to see how much gas was going through the fuel lines to each cylinder but didn't get conclusive results(although it seemed to me like all cylinders were getting gas--but uneven amounts??). Also I checked the plugs to make sure all cylinders were getting spark. So my dad wanted a compression check before we went to much further and I got the bad news=$$$, which is in short supply in a college student's budget!!!
Thanks For the Help

PS what do you mean by Eyebrowing Cylinders and Knife Edging the Crank?? I have no knowledge with Engine rebuilds so please forgive me
