I checked the Service Manual and I cannot locate what the optimal engine compression (PSI) reading is supposed to be. Any ideas?
Not sure how my readings would be affected since I have a 1951/52 288 AT Head on the motor.
EDIT: After reading the section in the manual on running a compression check, I may recheck this tomorrow as I didn't prop open the carb throttle or remove all the plugs before the test. So that may have affected the readings I got. I checked it as I was replacing each spark plug at a time as I didn't want to mix up the wiring. I will just label everything tomorrow and retest.
