Is it burning or leaking...
How about valve stem seals, if it's only burning a little... that is a pretty easy fix. Have they ever been replaced?
No compression 
can also be a head gasket...

Guess I'm stuck with this engine for a while... Using Joel's numbers the engine is still good. So now gotta figure out what's not set up right.

[QUOTE=Adams' Apple]Comp. looks good all the way, Jim. If it don't seem like it's got any power, I'd have to look elsewhere, possibly timing, or fuel, or ign. [/QUOTE]
Doesn't get much better than that... .
Didn't you say you were having carb (Holley) problems ??? last week.
Could still be that...

[QUOTE=JimG]Yeah...still trying to figure it out![/QUOTE]
As Joel said.. sounds like could be fuel or any combination of things. I had a piece of carbon get stuck between a sparkplug electrode once... drove me crazy trying to find the problem...
