I was gonna say, feed a rope/cord in the cylinder and move piston up toward tdc. Be careful of the other valve not to bend it, remove the rocker to avoid that. This car is kick, man!
I been watching this since i got the same car myself. I dont know alot about working these old cars yet, But at some point i wounder if its easier to take out the engine and pull it apart. And somewhat renovate the whole thing. I mean how reliable will that engine be even if you get it working in this condition? But as i said i dont know nearly as much as you yet, but good luck!
That's how it's supposed to be done. Often you'll go through all this and find it's a mosquito fogger. Checking compression can save time too but compression can return to normal (125psi+) once an engine has run a bit.
The algorithm has brought me here and I'm pleased.
Welcome and enjoy!!!
It’s always something! It’ll be worth it when that hawg is crankin!

Obviously that is the correct way to do any restoration…I’m just messing around with parts. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!
