You bet! I am not seeing anything to be concerned about. No smoke, no fluid consumption, not hard to start.. and 10 psi max difference.. that's not a radical swing deserving of concern in my mind.

I'm not sure what the 301 should return as to compression tests, BUT a 1972 Chrysler 400 2bbl spec'd at about 100psi with a rated 8.2CR. As long as the cyls are within 20psi of each other, I'd call it good. I suspect the earlier 301 and later 400 might have CRs closer to each other than...

Sorry, those are the two high #'s 110 psi. the rest are 100 psi.

2 similar cylinders are #4 and #7. After reading my old posts you sent me (thank you), I need to wait another 500 miles or more to check compression again.

I'd be happy with 120 per cyl.. especially for a hone and re-ring. If the 2 cyls with lower numbers are right next to each other I might question the head gasket seal or re-torque the head bolts but if it doesn't smoke, no blow by, use any fluids, and starts easy I'd think it's good enough to...

Yes, I think about 60 pounds heavier.... Thanks 57, I posted a new thread to find out. People are anxious to mention what they think, but I want to see from actual owners of the 301 to find out. I've got a 68 GTO 400 engine with a cam and the psi #'s are 120 a cylinder and it goes like a bat...

Compression numbers PSI on 301

Mine are pretty even at 100 psi.

Regardless of what vent temps come out, the older cars are very poorly insulated against heat or cold. A few pieces of jute above the headliner, mainly for keeping the roof panel from resonating and such. Jute on the firewall inner side for sound issues. And jute under the carpet for softness...

Define compressor is no longer working. Doesn't turn/seized up/rod stuck out the side or clutch doesn't engage? If it's low on, or out of freon, it won't engage the clutch. Unless it was run out of freon and oil or has a million miles on it, those compressors are about as bulletproof as they...

All that and manual brakes, would be nice to see the VIN or fender tag to confirm its an L Code car. The trim is right for a "base" Polara.

If it is running well, I wouldn't worry about the compression numbers. They are pretty consistent and it doesn't smoke. I think the 2 barrel 301 Poly was rated at 8.5 compression ratio. The 290 HP Fury 318 was rated at 9.25. None of the Plymouth Polys were rated higher than that. I had Jahn's...

If the rest of the system is in good nick, then it will cool like crazy. The system is an excellent one. What's important is to watch the vent temps as you're filling the system (the system is filled with the car running and the compressor/AC turned on). The amount that's on the tag on the...

All set. Thx all.

Just a thought, it may be possible they used a 2dr coupe for the conversion and front doors off a 4dr car?

I would imagine very few. The work involved in shortening the door's and lengthening the quarter's is quite involved. This car looks great in midnight blue. It was however made for the rear passengers comfort, not the drivers. I'm a skinny guy, but those door's would require some thought out...

Update: After poking around online today, I came up with a couple of options...

No rush.. I’ll need by Aug so when you can. Go make that money… lol
