Also Dave, your compression shows at the lowest level of "good". If you did a "warm" compression test and gave it 7,8 or 9 strokes and all you got is 290/300, that is too low to really run good. Have you had that car on the road for 30 to 50 miles of hard running, I mean pouring the cobs to it, but don't get a ticket. It might do a lot for that engine.
