No luck yet getting this truck started.
It's a 1973 C20 pickup with 454 engine, after-market HEI distributor.
Today I checked the compression, everything seems within 135-150 range except for cylinder 8, which came in at 120 psi.
The spark plugs looked pretty dirty, covered in a bit of oil. I replaced those, and the spark plugs and I replaced the ignition module in the distributor. Still no luck.
Turns over, just doesn't start.
