it's within 10%, not a problem, how old is your spark plug wires, rotor & cap? Sounds like possible resistance. Coil might be bad to.


: So I finally broke down and did a compression test on my engine. The problem I have had the entire time is a sporadic miss, from idle on up through the RPM band. All electricals have been replaced, as well as new carburetor, etc. The miss got a little better, but was still there.

: So when I did the compression test, I got around 135 lbs on the number one cylinder, and 150 to 153 or so on all the rest of the cylinders. I repeated the test a couple of times, with pretty much identical results. What does this sound like to you guys (& gals)? Rings? Valves sticking? Weak spring? Help!!

: One more thing... will it hurt the car to drive it like that? Thanks :)
