Thank u. I appreciate it. Several times I have looked my thread up...I almost sold the cutlass a few times. But I couldn't. I am still finding things wrong n trying to address them. It will never be a done car but I can have fun in the meantime

So I went to tune the carb and my vacuum gauge is fluctuating at idle. So I went and brought a leak down and compression tester. I guess I have either a valve issue or a ring issue.
Now I am fighting with my self over what to do if I need to rebuild or replace this motor. Do I go ls like everyone or stay kool with what I know and keep running a sbc.
Never ends....

if you check each cylinder with compressed air you'll hear the air escaping from the crankcase which means a ring problem or on top from a valve leaking....

I am doing my own 4bolt conversion and roller rocker conversion. Plus doing the balancing on the rods n pistons my self. It's nice having a machine shop. I will do as much as I can here. The hunt is on for a good 400 forged crank sooo if anyone has a good forged crank that's serviceable lmk!
