Reply to "Fuel pressure ok?"

Thanks everyone. Yes when I get to the point of a leakdown test I may have someone else over to help with that.  First just trying to test all the cylinders compression. I did hold down the gas pedal to open the valves to do the compression check, but I found it didn't make any difference in the reading when I kept them shut either.  I can rig the compression gauge to see it from the drivers seat, so will just continue to use the key to turn the car over for the remaining cylinders. Battery and strokes are very strong when doing it one by one and after I do a couple cylinders then I charge it over night. So far everything is about 120 except for the first cylinder tested (90). Yeah Rocky I shouldn't have gotten into the stacks/butterflies without doing the compression check first, but I found they were so dirty so I just cleaned them and yes went down that rabbit hole as noted. Didn't send in the valves & linkage yet either. I figure if the engine needs to get pulled I will let a shop arrange all that.
