I assumed others on this forum would be bidding.....it may go for more than I want to pay (or more than my wife wants me to pay), so feel free...no hard feelings!

I will report my findings tommorrow. I doubt if they will let me do a compression test...I think I will bring my stuff just in case....what would be acceptable results....I would think 275 to 300 psi with no more than 25 psi difference between cylinders....is this right anyone? Otherwise I will try to do the cold start method (hoping the guy doesn't start it before I get there).

Hey Jas2on......if you buy it maybe I'll drive it out for you!!! I'd love to get back to New Mexico....I spent 6 months out there in 1992....loved every minute....I still get a box of green chiles every year from Hatch and roast them on the grill.
