Default Re: No compression

After sitting so long without running there is a good chance the valves are stuck due to rust and corrosion. I am not familiar with flat head V8's but i assume there is a valve cover on the side of each bank. If so, remove the covers, turn the engine over and see if the valve stems are moving freely. That may reveal the pproblem.
