Is it possible?
I have a 95 GTX that I have been fixing up. I originally opened the engine partway up and saw the pistons and rings thru the intake ports and they looked like new (not a scratch) so I buttoned it back up and started it and voila it ran perfect out of the water. After a few false starts I got it working in the water and it screams. A fulll 50 something mph, no hesitation, perfect idle, strong hole shot, but.... after fifteen or twenty min fouled plugs. fire jumping from plug wire end to head with plug wire loose on plug (trick to get hot spark) Checked compression ...90 on both cyls. Can it be true or is the tester bad?
I don't have enough experience with these machines to know if they would even run with that compression much less run that strong?
Anyone here can enlighten me? Thanks :O)
