My first muscle car build thread (lots of pics)

blah, My carb had a vacuum leak where it met the intake fixed that all up and the idle was steadyish at least but, It still ran like a bag of ****. started going around the distributor taking a wire off at a time, found a dead cylinder. Figured it was a spark problem, so i swapped wires, cap and rotor with others and i made sure the spark plug was sparking. Still runs like crap. Compression test showed 125psi which might be okay considering the compression ratio (318block+360 heads). I had to stop working on it because rain was coming.

At this point, I am thinking ill check compression on a working cylinder and also swap plugs between the two incase something is wrong with the plug. Then after that ill take a valve cover off and probably find out my camshaft has wiped a lobe. :banghead:

pretty depressed though at this point, time for a beer.
