86 gm 350
 

Hello, I have a question to like to ask about a 350 I'm recently playing with. I could not get it to run right because of bad carb so I did a compression test to see if it was worth keeping. Keep in mind, it's in an 86 Vandura with 78,000 on the speedo. I pulled all the plugs, put a charger on the weak battery and began the test. All but one cylinder tested at 195lbs with #one running 200lbs. I rolled it over twice in each cylinder to be sure. In my research I have not come across this kind of pressure in a 350. The motor does not look new and I have no reason not to believe it is not the original. My question, is this a good thing or a bad thing? FYI, it's been dumping a lot of gas in the cylinders and I don't know for how long. It sucked a gallon out of a can in three mins. Thanks for stopping by....
