got the 350 up on a stand, bolted up the flex plate and starter. rigged up a battery and ran a compression test. Here's the numbers... 1 - 155 2 - 170 3 - 140 4 - 190 5 - 140 6 - 160 7 - 198 +/- 8 - 195 This is cold, engine has not been in a vehicle in years. New Craftsman guage (Don't know if it's correct) I was told its a 72' block, block #1382201 with #B1233472 Head castings. 4 Barrel intake with no carb on it. The highs seem to high, the lows aren't to bad...but the spread sucks. anyone seen a distribution like this before? And what is a normal range for this engine? Thanks, Bill
