Hello yellowpinto78,

The 1978, 2.3 is around 8 to 1 CR. 150 PSI on a Comp. test is outstanding!
Has your engine been rebuilt?

Well the guy i got it from told the story of he got it with a blown head, so he had the top half rebuilt. And from the looks of it this is true.My new problem, now I know the comp is good, is it has a Californian carb and it is not a Californian engine.
