Okay, cleaned the plugs and the following is the list of compression.

1 - 55lb
2 - 75lb
3 - 69lb
4 - 80lb

Tried to turn it over and it chugged for 2 secs and died in a white cloud from the exhaust. Probably from the ATF coating in the cylinders.
Anyway, the battery is about dead so I will recharge and try again tomorrow.

But how long did you let the ATF sit in the cylinders and did you just put a little bit in or did you fill them. You need to fill the cylinders and then let it sit at least a week before trying to start it. It sat a long time so you have to give the ATF time to work

also good to have a well charged battery to do your comp test.

I guess I let it set just enough, it started for me tonight. YeeHaw!

It is running good but is smoking a little. Could be the ATF in the oil and the one low compression cylinder.

Anyway, on to the other steps on the tips list. Have rear seals, brakes and overall fluid changeout.

Thanks to everybody great forum. Maybe someday I can help somebody too.

Well spinning it over then walking away for a for hours can help and may have with that one. Doing that gets the ATF all over the rings and that is where it is needed
