Default Re: The saga continues - Sputtering, loss of power when accelerating

Not a chance I'm going to put 350 in.... I just couldn't see myself parting with what's in there. I guess worst case scenario would be somewhere down the line finding another 305D to replace the current one. But, that's (hopefully) a long way off yet.
Now that it's home I'm going to try to go back to driving it daily, just enjoying the old guy. However, I'm also going to do a compression test.... At least then I'll have some idea as to the general health of the engine.
I think I've finally accepted that I would rather spend the time and money on tools and learning than get someone else to do the work. I guess I just thought getting an 'expert' to do the work initially was better for the truck.

Is it worth posting a video so y'all can hear how it sounds?
