Another thing I just remembered, he said that when he first got it, it wouldn't start, but then his dad poured a little oil down the carburetor and it started and ran fine, they assumed it could be compression.
Is this a serious issue starting to show through? or perhaps a leaky piston ring? I've hear of lots of people doing this (usually 80's fords) but never really knew why. It doesn't need the "oil treatment" right now, just the one time after it had been sitting for quite a while.
