Does anybody in the area have a decent compression tester?
The 396 is missing a little after some spirited driving on Sunday and I suspect a valve problem. I went to do a compression test yesterday and found out my compression tester won't fit into the tapered seat plugs on the heads on the engine(1971 oval port heads). So I need a compression tester for the narrower thread design and the threaded portion will need to be pretty deep just get in far enough to engage the threads. If somebody has one I can borrow, let me know. Thanks!

Mine uses a hose. That should work.

Then I would need to borrow you to hold the hose!  Man, that just sounds so wrong!

Heh....Bonzo - if you're gonna loan this to Jeff, bring it to the meet tonight. I can meet up with Jeff tomorrow or something, since he only works across the street from me.

Whenever. I'm right off Sloan, if you go by there to & from school, you could just drop it off. Or next meet.
