I purchased a used '78 2F to install in my '67. I purchased it in conjunction with some other parts, I've not heard it run, it was apparently rebuilt about 10 years ago, but has been out of the vehicle, and not ran in a few years. It appears to be really clean, inside and out. I ran a compression test on it, cold, since it's not installed in the truck. There seems to be quite a variance in the #'s. What would your next step be? Should I pull the head and inspect further? I've had a few people tell me to just install it, run it, and hope it comes around. But I would prefer to know everything is good, before install.
Debating now on if I use it at all, or rebuild the other 2f that was in my '67 originally.
