That was just on one crank of the motor my tester won't hold the pressure for some reason but I just checked and I lost spark I believe it has something to do with the points but I'm not sure how to check or adjust them

Okay thanks. I have the points ordered and will be here tomorrow that what I was thinking also. I have a new condenser and coil that I will be putting on also.

A little back ground on this car is it sat for 15+ years but ran great when it was parked the motor was freshly rebuild at that time. When I got it the 4th piston was seized and I pulled the head off and got the piston(s) freed up and turning nice put everything back to time and back together. An idea I have had to get the compression up is to pull the car in gear to get the motor warm and moving better. Any other ideas?
