Advice Needed - Can't Start Rebuilt 273

Is the car an automatic or manual trans? If it's a 4 speed find a hill or get a tow........ desperate times call for desperate actions!!!

Did you ever replace the plugs? I had a 69 340 Dart that I put a new set of Champions in. After about a 1000 miles it got real hard/impossible to start, long story very short we put the old plugs back in it and it fired right up.

LOL, thought about that, but unfortunately it's an automatic. Yeah, I have 2 sets of plugs. I started with a brand new set. After a while I pulled the set from the running engine I removed from the car. I thought about buying yet another set but I think there is something else wrong here, given the low compression.

The definition of madness: "Doing the same thing and expecting a different result." :)
