First time poster... with a couple of questions.

[dsglass95]

Hello All, first time poster here. Earlier this summer my wife inherited he dads 1932 Model 18. This car had been sitting in a garage for more than 20 years. I have been trying to get it running, but it just doesn't have enough compression to run. A couple of cylinders are between 70 to 80 pounds, but the rest are below 60. It tries to run, but its just doesn't have enough strong cylinders to do so. I don't believe it has the original engine in it, but what I do know is that it is a 21 stud, 3 bolt timing cover, and it had a Stromberg 97 on it. I have replaced the carb with one from Speedway, rebuilt the fuel pump, and replaced the fuel pump push rod. All these fixes work well, so compression is the hold up here. So after typing all of this, We are looking for somebody to do some mechanical/electrical work. We are located in central Illinois, roughly 3 hours from both St Louis and Chicago. But the more local the better. If anyone knows of someone who might be of some help, that would be greatly appreciated. This car is quite special to my wife, but also its a pretty rare example of a Model 18. I will include some pics of it.
