I had my neighbor come over and take a look at it when I first got it because he's been working on these for years and he said the timing is "dead on" so that's not the problem. He gave me a list of things to check before he left and I've gone over all of them.

I'll check the wires for spark again to be sure 100%. In the morning I'm going to rent a compression tester and see if that's the problem. The oil and coolant aren't mixed and I see no spots on the ground under the engine from leaks.
