For a while now my big old Clark, 1963, has been running a bit rough. New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, didn't make much difference. Finally did a compression test, #1 is a bit low, #4 is basically just along for the ride.
I am going to venture a guess that the valves need adjusting. Too bad you have to pull the manifolds for that to happen.
May try some oil down the plug holes and hope its just a sticky valve.
If that doesn't work, probably time to refresh top end, head gasket, valves, etc.
Engine is a f209 continental, seems the same as a f226, etc
Where can I find gaskets for these?
Maybe my local NAPA?
