Dear fordbarn members,
I regularly read posts on this forum and I learn a lot thanks to your contributions. My car is a stock v8 model 40 that was manufactured 1Q 1933. It has a Stromberg 97, stock helmet distributor and still on 6V pos ground. The engine was fully restored presumably in 1995 and never suffered failures. I am in the course of replacing the distributor (supplied by Mike @ Thirdgen ). Needed to sanity check the engine so took compression and results as follows Cyl 1-> 77 psi Cyl 2-> 72 psi Cyl 3-> 74 psi Cyl 4-> 75 psi Cyl 5-> 72 psi Cyl 6-> 72 psi Cyl 7-> 80 psi Cyl 8-> 80 psi Q1: should i be worried about the above numbers ? Any useful comment ? Q2: Any hint/advice on best way to remove helmet dist. without removing radiator ? A guy on this forum stated it can be done from bottom up after gen-fan assembly is removed and another guy explained it is best removed from underneath. What is the best way to do it ? Your advice will be very much welcome. Max
