The 84 SD has a shake and didn't start the other day. I'm thinking compression and leak down tests are or will soon be in order.
Prior to the current no run situation and for other legitimate reasons valves have been adjusted, rack damper is new, Greazzer reworked the injectors, motor mounts were shot and have been replaced, engine shocks were removed and examined & fuel filters have been changed.
Have I missed anything except injector pump delivery valves and compression?
I'll deal with the starting issue first since it started easily until recently. I thought it might be the glow system but plugs ohm ok and all get power from the relay. I'll do more tests to be sure that system isn't the problem.
What is a good compression gauge for infrequent use? I glanced at Harbor Freight but those don't have very good reviews.

What size and thread pitch are the injectors? I want to be sure before buying that the gauge fits.
