Dear Jim:

Good compression is at least 100 psi, although car should start on 80 psi.

Good spark is at least 20Kv using a KD tester available from NAPA.

The rotted manifold is an interesting thing. Try cranking the motor with your hand over the carburetor. If there is no suction you have a problem.
