  5. what will i be looking for compression wise? Its a type 1 1641. wont fire on no3. done all the obvious stuff. Valve clearences, changes plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm. no change, Every no and then it fires as the van is running. engine has done about 5-6000 miles.

    it is getting a spark but just wont fire. Cant hear a knock.

    possible causes?

    thanks so far guy's
     
  6. you should be looking for around 120psi on the compression..
