Inspection by restoration garage:
DRIVEABILITY (FUEL AND IGNITION) DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION:Engine should run based on inspection findings:-Turned engine over by hand to verify engine is not seized and will tolerate cranking compression test.
-Remove 6 spark plugs and inspect for proper gap and indications of engine issues. Plugs are in good condition.
-Disabled ignition system by removing distributor cap. Points are showing wear. Plug wires and cap older but in good visual condition.
-Electric fuel pump run with key in on position. Disabled fuel pump for compression test.-Inspected carburetor system and disconnected fuel lines to protect carburetors from poor quality/old fuel.
-Performed compression test, engine has good compression. Test pressures recorded are 180-170-185-185-185-180 psi in 1-6cylinder arrangement.
-Engine showed 40 psi oil pressure during cranking for compression test. This is considered a good result.
-Coolant low, appearance of multiple system leaks present at radiator and thermostat housing, and potentially water pump.
-Lower radiator hose is in poor condition, cracking and leaking at accessory pipe junction.-Engine test-fire not completed due to fuel system contamination and cooling system in questionable condition.
