It depends on engine modifications. A stock engine should normally have around 145 - 170 psi. Racing engines will have more. You having other problems?  |

Thought we had it fixed with the new carb - took it to Crossville and ran with the minis and it was like it was on 3 cylinders

Compression seems to be OK - One thing that we discovered tonight was that the center 2 cylinders were about 100 degrees warmer than the outer 2.
Would this be a fuel distribution problem??
Thanks for any help.

I was rebuilding a stock Chevette and the center two cyl. had a bunch of carbon build up on the pistons. You might want to try running a colder plug(local parts store can get that for you). Also you might want to make sure your water pump is good, and make sure there is no blockage in the water jackets.

check your distributor. i had the same problem and found out the circuit board was fried. set your timing to 34-36 degrees and check your plug wires for any breaks. i had the same problem and now it runs like a champ.
