LOL no problem Tony glad I could help. Remember you are getting a lot of info about your engine by going through all this diagnostics, and it hasn't cost you a dime. Imagine how much money would have been waisted by throwing parts at an engine that would have never run right until the cause and repair of your poor compression was realized. You could have thrown every carb in the world at this and it never would have run right with that low of compression and vacuum. Looking at the glass as half full, this is a great time to do some good for your engine both performance and longevity wise. Its not your only Jeep so you still have something to wheel if you wanted to. Take your time so the cost of a rebuild can be absorbed by your budget. Do lots of reading on the idiosyncrasies of AMC V8's such as poor oiling to the rear main, and timing chain and what the best fixes are for these issues. Maybe bore it out, raise the compression. Port match the heads to your manifold (note I didn't say port and polish). Enlarging the ports and polishing them is counter productive in low-mid rpm applications. Debur the oil drain back passages, etc. etc.

So whats the latest news on your engine Tony?
